ABOUT THE PROJECT*:

This is a participatory project, where on a large 2x2m stand, I made a light colour background and took a photograph. I then posted it on Instagram and asked my followers what was missing from the canvas. For 24h the suggestion box was open and during the course of the project I was asking what was missing. The suggestions were all stored and during the five-day deadline for resolution of the work, it was being composed collectively with all the suggestions that had been given, always trying to disclose the process so that those who collaborated could follow.

Maria Eduarda Chaves

​Born in Southern Brazil she has always been interested in art and expression. In 2015 she moved to Faro where she formally began her artistic research at the University of Algarve. She started her artistic journey in the area of illustration but over time and with the acquisition of more references and experiences, her form of expression also expanded to something more experimental. Combining elements of various languages she creates compositions that she considers metaphorical and subjective about the mental places she inhabits.
