Rio Ribeira
2016

A conical fishing net is suspended from the ceiling by a pink rope, with its wider end facing down and slightly touching the gray floor. Inside the net, various pieces of debris, including wood and rope, are entangled, giving the impression of a catch from the ocean. The background is a plain white wall, emphasizing the net and its contents as the focal point.
