Manuela Castro Martins
Each exhibition is a tale.
To tell a tale, using three words from the title.
To freedom the jar from the flower-keeper function and to allow displaying, improbable and useless, its petals.
To seek in the rosettes the tiny portal to absolute infinity.
To invente an explanation for the heart, a suspended and untouchable object.
