Urucu (2021)
Urucu (2021)Brazil is home to various indigenous peoples and also shares many ties with Japan, including the fact it is home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan.
URUCU, a name that pays tribute to the ethnic groups and their spices used to paint/protect bodies, combines Japan’s tokusatsu-like Samurai Warriors and Indigenous Persons to explore similarities between them and fit the references together. The artistic creations on the surface are a platform to scratch deeper for historical and anthropological factors, question genetics and linguistic roots, and travel through mythological and religious traditions.

"I wanted to combine Japan Samurai Warriors and Indigenous Groups at the roots of Brazil, I saw similarities between them and found ways to visually fit the references together by listening to what the artwork was saying and finding what was relevant and what wasn’t."
