Exploring the concept of seclusion, Salomé Rodrigues creates an immersive experience that invites introspection and sensory interaction. Inside a glass structure, the artist projects a video in which she explores the freedom of the gaze and the confinement of the body. The space, which is reminiscent of a citrus-scented swamp, intensifies the feeling of confinement and provokes reflection on vulnerability and self-image. This installation proposes an encounter between the grotesque and the beautiful, mediated by collective experience and individual introspection.
