For the exhibition at the Morumbi Chapel, the artist proposed the installation of the work “BEscreen” composed of 6 sculptural objects and 3 assemblages, of an ephemeral nature, site-specific, never before seen and developed exclusively for the Morumbi Chapel in the Exhibition Halls 1, 2 and 3. Social Issue Addressed: Data from the latest mapping of depression carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that 5.8% of the Brazilian population suffers from depression, the equivalent of 11.7 million Brazilians, indicating that Brazil has the most depressed population in Latin America. Of more concern is the fact that the number of people suffering from common mental illnesses is increasing worldwide, especially in low-income countries.

The work explores ideas about resilience and sustainability on a personal, interpersonal and environmental level, which have been the focus of her life as a teacher and artist. Objectives: The objective of the work is to explore the relationship between virtual ecosystems and ecosystems that exist within and around us, through the interaction of the work with the observer, and at the same time to offer the opportunity to reflect on personal choices that potentially affect resiliency and sustainability at personal, interpersonal and environmental levels. Concept: The work is composed of sculptural objects and assemblages created with reused cell phone screens that the artist collects as trash, and local and sustainable natural materials – gravel, sand and earth – used in taipa de pilão, the technique the ancient walls of the chapel were built with. The reused cell phone screens refer to virtual ecosystems - where there are perfect versions of the Self - which some of us seek to access when escaping from difficult feelings. The gravel, sand and earth refer to real ecosystems that exist within ourselves and in the objective world around us. The observer first encounters cross-shaped sculptural objects made of gravel, sand and earth and, in the chapel’s altar area, finds a cross-shaped sculptural object made of reused cell phone screens that reflect the oberver’s image. This contrast of materials – electronic waste and natural materials – aims to question “deified” choices in the contemporary world and their potential impact on physical, emotional, mental and “spiritual” health. The term “deified” refers to the prevalence with which some fo us insert ourselves into the virtual world through our screens and the importance given to values ​​projected by social media. The term “spiritual” and the shape of a cross (Exhibition Hall 2) and sacred heart (Exhibition Hall 1) have no religious meaning and refer to intrinsic values ​​and personal practices that bring us closer, or not, to states of resilience, sustainability, health and peace both internally and in environmental terms. The term “BEscreen”, that means “to cover with a screen, or as with a screen” and “to shelter; conceal”, refers to the fact that reused cell phone screens serve as portals to virtual ecosystems where our true image and feelings can be concealed, and also as mirrors to reflect the image of the observer. The sculptural objects created with natural materials refer to different aspects of the Self that are intrinsically intertwined: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. If any of these states of being is not resilient, all other states of being are negatively affected.
