The dusk and the Tãba’kis

This work draws from Amazonian mythology to portray the Tãba’kis—four sisters whose strength and autonomy are embodied in their hair, a symbol of connection, power, and truth. Executed in mixed media, the piece incorporates string as a material element, adding form, movement, and vitality to the composition. Rooted in oral narratives, the work reflects on desire, violence, and resistance, revealing a reversal of power where what is taken is ultimately reclaimed.
