✨ Story and Meaning
Silence for My Evolution is a deeply introspective piece that honors the transformative power of silence. Inspired by the strength of women and the continuous cycles of life, this artwork invites a pause from the external world to reconnect with one's inner truth.

In a reality saturated by noise, silence becomes an act of bravery. True evolution demands awareness, resilience, and emotional depth. This piece was born from the spaces in between — the quiet moments of confrontation and healing.

Every mark on the tarp — every brushstroke, every imperfection — speaks of growth, vulnerability, and courage. It is through the darkest moments that our brightest strength emerges. This work is a celebration of becoming, even when it's painful.

🌿 About the Truck Tarp
The truck tarp is a traditional material used in Brazil to protect cargo during transportation. Each tarp carries years of history — with visible stitching, holes, patches, and stains that are intentionally preserved as part of the artwork’s authenticity and narrative.

With a durability of over 100 years, this recycled material becomes a powerful artistic base with symbolic, aesthetic, and ecological value — rooted in Brazilian identity and road culture.
