A public sculpture made for the Oeiras municipal garden. A dynamic and engaging sculpture, accompanying the field lines of archaeological research, was born around some old concrete shoes I found that revealed more about its place's history. The remaining foundations of a structure were once removed from an old playground. I simplified my sculpture, aiming to create a structure, adopting a construction language similar to a playground one. I created a dialogue between the artwork, the lines of the earth´s layers, and the division of the land, like an archaeological exploration. The varying heights and directions of the structure invite interaction, allowing each person to become part of the sculpture. The foundations serve as a starting point and context for the artwork, connecting the site´s past to the present artistic intervention.
Note: These images weren´t taken in the Oeiras municipal garden.

A series of objects created in a dystopic world where the real intersects with the imagined. They are born from the memory of a body that was once there, that left a mark on the land. The material from which the sculptural pieces are made. Earth worked and transformed. Emerging from an intersection between memory and traces.
