fio de conta

installation

to all the spirituality that watches over me. to the forces that protect my paths, the waters that carry me, the winds that transform me, and the sacred presence that remains even when unseen. with reverence, gratitude, and axé. woven in the language of sacred beads. in afro-brazilian spiritual traditions, fios de conta are beaded necklaces that carry religious meaning, devotion, and connections to the orixás. this collection translates their delicacy into continuous lines, flowing water, intricate ornaments, and movement. iemanjá emerges through the depths and rhythms of the ocean. oxum embodies the sweetness of fresh waters, beauty, and fertility. iansã breaks the current with wind, storms, and the force of transformation. four portraits, each shaped by the sacred, where every thread carries more than decoration
