In Jardin de Popper (Popper's Garden) I refer to Karl Popper, with his three worlds, perhaps four if we include works of art.
In this garden, I also cultivate words by the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa as a visual composition.
They say that flowers are all
Words that the earth says.
You don't speak to me: you annoy me.
You speak: I'm less happy
The words appear as references to my physical movements.
They are written repeatedly, until they become textures: a way of tamping down the incubated word that is often born curled up and distorted in the adjectivised vices of those who have been grafted on for a long time and without defined roots.

Em Jardim de Popper faço referência à Karl Popper, com seus três mundos, talvez quatro se incluirmos as obras de arte.

Dizem que as flores são todas
Palavras que a terra diz.
Não me falas: incomodas.
Falas: sou menos feliz
As palavras surgem como referências aos meus deslocamentos físicos.
São escritas repetidamente, até se transformarem em texturas: uma forma de calcar a palavra incubada que muitas vezes nasce enrolada e distorcida nos vícios adjetivados de quem está muito tempo enxertado e sem raízes definidas.
