Eu Me Curei Com a Liberdade [I Healed Myself with Freedom], da série Espelhos [Mirror series], 2024
"I Healed Myself with Freedom" is part of the "Mirrors" series, in which Panmela Castro revisits her trajectory with graffiti in Rio de Janeiro. This technique, once used to denounce the military dictatorship and, throughout much of Latin America, appropriated by the feminist movement as a form of protest, takes on new meaning in her work.
By shifting the message from the anonymity of the city's gray concrete to the reflective surface of mirrors, Panmela transforms the act into a process of empathy and otherness. The reflection is no longer just visual but also symbolic: what message would you leave for others that also applies to yourself?
