House on Fire




2015
Faculdade de Belas Artes, Porto, PortugalThe House on Fire installation emerged from a collaborative effort between Sofia Almeida, Luisa Bemmerlein, and myself. Presented in 2015 at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto, the work serves as a poignant metaphor for humanity's urgent need to reconnect with our planet—represented through the image of a home engulfed in flames.

Constructed from discarded wooden boards, the installation embraces a raw, organic aesthetic, intentionally assembled without the use of enforced bonding methods. Enhancing its evocative presence, the piece integrates a smoke machine and LED lights, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that underscores its message of fragility and urgency. Through this work, we invite viewers to reflect on the precarious balance between human actions and environmental sustainability, encouraging a deeper sense of responsibility toward our shared home.
