TRANSLATION:

We are in the installation 'Topography of memory', by the artist Salisa Rosa, a large installation, which is a single piece that she developed for a year and a half, which is composed of more than one hundred objects made of ceramics. It's a clay that she finds naturally, so it's very natural.

I think it is a search for origin. This brings, for many of us, who have either a history of displacement or a history of ignorance, of not knowing one's family or origin, and even of forced displacement, as is the case of a large percentage of the Brazilian population. I think that search for an origin is very present in the work.
