PT// “Desejo recolher amostras das árvores locais em Portugal e documentar galerias de escaravelhos e
as suas formas, a fim de traduzir as marcações únicas numa linguagem pictórica, tais como logógrafos e fonógrafos. Uma vez desenvolvido um sistema, eu suponho que uma mensagem ou série de histórias estão a ser contadas pelos escaravelhos e vou registrá-las sob a forma de uma instalação.”

EN// “I wish to gather samples from the local trees in Portugal and document beetle galleries and
their forms in order to translate the unique markings into a pictorial language such as logographs and phonographs. Once a system is developed, I hypothesize that a message or series of stories are being told by the beetles and I will record this in the form of a tome and installation.”
