This risography comes from previous visual experiences of crossing through sewing with thread and needle, paper figures with natural elements; leaves, sand, rocks, splashing in water. For this work, I always took into account the 2018 text by Professor Américo Pereira from the Catholic University of Portugal, Faculty of Human Sciences, where the concept of the relationship between Man—Nature—Ecology is well explained and addressed. I leave an excerpt: "Ecology is not a school subject, it is not a social fashion, it is not just an attitude towards nature, it is the very way in which human beings relate to the world. (...) The first great human error – it is not just Western – it is ontological and consists of the Manichaean separation between humanity and the rest, the so-called «nature», as if there were an ontological discontinuity between these two spheres, as if they constituted true separate worlds." My work results from learning and sensorial experience of the ideas learned and apprehended.
