The project started with the Becos and Vielas alleys, now updated with two more works. The concept was to synthesize the essence of Brâsilandia, simplifying the spatial complexity with colour, and using anamorphosis to generate one big canvas. The words depicted portray the true daily life of the neighborhood. The process was collaborative, and took over walls and floor, creating new bonds between people.
Poesía and Magica, purple and green, highlight the beauty of the irregular constructions, the magic of the spontaneous urban growth, the intensity of the relationships between neighbors, and the smile of the kids playing up and down the stairs.
