Literature

In Orev - pouso (Orev - landing), a figure appears resting on his side, his face concealed from the viewer. He surrenders himself to the land around him, the soles of his feet dirty from the earth, expressing a familiarity with the soil. His spirit is incarnate in the rainbow that arrives at his body. Its form casts a long shadow, suggesting the light itself is made of matter. Herein a spiritual presence originates from an elevation, a celestial point, striking the ground and becoming matter, earth.
