Femme Nature / Ethereal

The ethereal exists in the space between presence and disappearance a subtle realm where beauty is not meant to be possessed, only felt. Like mist dissolving into morning light, feminine energy moves beyond form: soft yet untouchable, delicate yet infinitely powerful. In nature, the ethereal reveals itself through wind, water, light, and silence forces unseen, but deeply transformative. This state reflects the feminine ability to transcend solidity and become intuition, sensation, and atmosphere. An invisible poetry unfolding through the body and the natural world. by @igobymuse

Mistério

“O mistério das coisas, onde está ele?
Onde está ele que não aparece
Pelo menos a mostrar-nos que é mistério?
Que sabe o rio e que sabe a árvore
E eu, que não sou mais do que eles, que sei disso?
Sempre que olho para as coisas e penso no que os homens pensam delas,
Rio como um regato que soa fresco numa pedra.

Porque o único sentido oculto das coisas
É elas não terem sentido oculto nenhum,
É mais estranho do que todas as estranhezas
E do que os sonhos de todos os poetas
E os pensamentos de todos os filósofos,
Que as coisas sejam realmente o que parecem ser
E não haja nada que compreender.

Sim, eis o que os meus sentidos aprenderam sozinhos: —
As coisas não têm significação: têm existência.
As coisas são o único sentido oculto das coisas.”

Some behind-the-scenes moments from the sculpture I modeled for Burning Man
It feels surreal to think that last year, when I went to see Valerie’s work on the playa, I said out loud that it would be such an honor to one day model for one of her pieces. One year later, here I am becoming the mold for *Duende*.
What made the experience even more special was getting to collaborate again with Roselle and Cynthia, two incredibly talented multidisciplinary artists whom I deeply admire. Roselle was the person who first brought me to Burning Man as part of the crew for her installation, and Cynthia minha fada madrinha, Burning Man ambassador 😂 and connector of magical humans was the one who introduced me to Roselle back then, and this time to Valerie.
There was something especially beautiful about being part of a team made entirely of women.
The process itself was a deep meditation!! During the face casting, Valerie guided me through it with these beautiful words of evocation, and one thing she said has stayed with me ever since, reverberating almost like a mantra:

“In this chaotic world, making art is what gives meaning to everything else.”

I became so emotional. The experience went much deeper than simply being a model. I found myself immersed in conversations about the creative process, hearing the doubts, dilemmas, and reflections of artists with so much experience and realizing how universal so many of those feelings are.
I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of this process, and to have lent my body to a piece that will soon exist on the playa as something entirely its own.

Part II coming soon, with photos of *Duende* fully alive at playa.

Thank you for providing me this surreal experience. @valerie_mallory @cynti.love

Flowing on my element.... by @igobymuse

A life in 10 days. (Part 1)

In just over a week, we wandered through beaches, alpine lakes, mountains, giant redwoods, music festivals, winding roads, and countless conversations. It felt like living an entire lifetime in just ten days.

@abartomas Thank you for coming to meeting me when I needed . For every piece of advice, every philosophical conversation, for entertaining all my strange thoughts, and for reminding me that sometimes the best medicine is simply to keep moving. Traveling with you is effortless. We never argue, we're equally curious, equally hungry for the world, and always ready to take the scenic route.
Who would have thought that the underground scene in São Paulo would one day take us this far? Life is funny like that.
This trip also reminded me how essential friendship and support systems are during difficult seasons. We aren't meant to carry everything alone. Sometimes healing looks like someone saying, "Get in the car, we're going."
And nature... nature always knows. A few days offline, surrounded by ancient trees, endless water, open skies, and silence, can nourish the soul in ways that nothing else can.
I'm coming back feeling grounded, nourished, stronger, and deeply inspired for whatever comes next.
Grateful for the places, the conversations, the laughter, and, most of all, for the people who remind how to get back to ourselves...
