The work reflects on the passage of time, the evolving relationship between human beings and nature, and the possibility of finding moments of respite amid the world’s chaos. It invites viewers to consider art as a space where genuine coexistence can emerge—where differences are not only acknowledged but valued, functioning as metaphors for the dissolution of boundaries. Themes such as ageism, transformation, tolerance, harmony, and respect recur throughout Araujo’s creative process, ultimately shaping and defining the work itself.
