Twin Arisu in YASO

Alice fertilizes dreamlands, provokes our boundaries, desires, memories. Alice grows.

These images call the victorian age, playing with darkness, sweetness, mysteries, strangeness. Since we go out of the helm of illustration in a more literal conception,

art opens doors never opened,

calls for the unknown, calls for travels within, where we find

both repression and constrains but

paths for transformation.

"A arte não serve apenas para representar o mundo. Ela busca inventar outros mundos possíveis, mergulhos no maravilhoso, tornar visível o invisível, atravessar o espelho da retina e a ilusão da representação mimética, uma nova figura que reconfigura, transfigura e além. Como nos convida Rosane Preciosa, com a arte nos pensamos no mundo em nós e nós no mundo na coreografia da existência."

PRECIOSA, Rosane. Produção estética: notas sobre roupas, sujeitos e modos de vida.
