installation
5.000 butterflies made of plastic waste, and 5.000 needles

The Winter Sleep installation consists of 5,000 small butterflies cut from plastic waste. Together with her neighbors and friends, she collected many kilos of plastic waste. The butterflies are pinned to the walls with needles, as if they were hibernating in space. And the needles refer to the pinned insect collections in Western European countries. The colors of the butterflies are white, black, pink, green and orange. A choice that relate to the colors she used in the work Onça Pintada (2012-2013), made during a work period in São Paulo in 2012; a car cover and coats for dogs.
