In the performance "Rupture," the audience leads a three-act ritual that closes a cycle begun by the artist in her first public performance in 2015, as part of the exhibition "Radical Ideas Of Love" at the Museum of Art of Rio (MAR).

 

In the first act, the audience offers a collection of pink lipsticks, with which the artist searches for the "perfect lipstick," symbolizing the pursuit of unattainable ideals — a metaphor for life's senseless dreams and goals. In the second act, they watch as the artist tattoos the image of a giant bear on her arm, opposite the apple tattooed in the first "Rupture." The bear represents strength and presence, symbolizing protection and belonging, reinforcing the weight of relationships built over time. In the third act, the audience cuts the artist's hair, ending cycles and creating space for the new in a gesture of rupture and renewal.

Na performance "Ruptura", o público conduz um ritual em três atos que encerra um ciclo iniciado pela artista em sua primeira performance pública, em 2015, parte da exposição "Ideias Radicais Sobre o Amor" no Museu de Arte do Rio.

 

No primeiro ato, o público oferece uma coleção de batons cor de rosa, com os quais a artista busca o "batom perfeito", simbolizando a busca por ideais inatingíveis — uma metáfora para os sonhos e metas sem sentido da vida. No segundo ato, observa a artista gravar no braço a imagem do urso gigante, oposta à maçã tatuada na primeira "Ruptura". O urso, representa força e presença, simbolizando proteção e pertencimento, e reforçando o peso das relações construídas ao longo do tempo. No terceiro ato, o público corta o cabelo da artista, encerrando ciclos e abrindo espaço para o novo, em um gesto de ruptura e renovação.
