This painting revisits memories from my youth through a dreamlike and symbolic atmosphere in which I wait for direction, meaning, and success alongside my dog Ben, a Siberian husky. The work contains subtle references to the house where I was born, including its original pink exterior colour, merging personal history with imagination, memory, and emotional projection. The house is rooted in a colonial-style architecture commonly associated with Brazilian emigrant homes, which adds another layer of cultural and historical memory to the work.
Suspended between reality and dream, the painting reflects on hope, identity, and the psychological spaces that continue to shape us over time. Through theatrical composition and surreal imagery, the work explores how memory becomes transformed by longing, nostalgia, and the desire to understand one’s place within the world.
