A trajectory of shudders, in which the body-as-narrator appropriates multiple fissures, undergoing a series of surgical procedures. The images recount aspects of these interventions—anesthesia, incisions, reshaping, suturing of the flesh, and processes of healing. Such procedures are re-enacted within the images through the artist’s own body, alongside surgical and reconstructive materials, traversed by imagined dialogues with herself and with others who have undergone similar paths. Boca d’alma proposes a reconciliation with the anesthetized body—a manual for reclaiming oneself, allowing pain to manifest, but not to reign.
