  • This piece speaks of the body, of the skin. In the artist’s own words, ‘…all bodies have smells’. The body of Carioca foam is shaped like a heart, which is joined by two umbilical cords, one father and the other mother. This happened on a beach in Rio and has the smell of the foam of the Carioca waves.
