Arc (2020–2024) is the materialization of a research project initiated in 2011, which culminated in the artist’s master’s thesis. It is grounded in the idea of the “arc of deforestation” as a work of art. Through different chapters, the thesis addresses this extractivist phenomenon from various perspectives, unpacking its conceptual, visual, and physical aspects. The notion of the “arc of deforestation” as an idea, as visuality, as intervention or sculpture is formally developed as a three-channel video installation.

In it, the screens are arranged irregularly and juxtaposed by a laser-cut wooden panel, shaped to evoke fragmentation—sharp and chaotic. The brutality of deforestation, the intensity of heat, the destructive dynamics of the economy, and the haunting chaos surrounding this phenomenon all emerge. On the back of the panel, four images arranged like angled flags display newly discovered geoglyphs in the Amazon, juxtaposing temporalities and worldviews.
