In the conception of Panmela Castro's Affective Drift, the fortuity is the subject of a search for belonging. Life is guided by meetings by chance, in a process of feeling liberated to float. Moments of encountering that are aleatory and others that were already written. In this series, the artist surrenders to this movement in territories where she is led by the network of affection she develops by letting herself go.

During some weeks of the year 2024, the artist set up a studio on a small balcony in Lisbon, adorned with plants and Portuguese tiles where she received friends, newly acquainted people, and strangers to be portrayed in her drift process.

Oséias is a Portuguese music producer who grew up surrounded by artists, nurturing his love for music. At first, Oséias came to accompany Xando on his painting night. Always quiet, but smiling when it suited him, the slender figure, lined up in a black suit and tie, soon became the focus of Panmela's interest, who invited him to be painted next, on a sunny day, when he was wearing jeans and a brightly colored leather vest and was getting emotional about the fight that was breaking out between Kendrick and Drake.
