Artwork Description

Saudade, originating from the Portuguese language, represents a complex emotional state characterized by a deep longing and nostalgia for something or someone cherished but currently absent. Saudade involves reminiscing about feelings, experiences, locations, or events that evoke a sense of separation from the once-thrilling, delightful, or blissful sensations they used to bring. This feeling was very much alive during the mandatory isolation of the last few years.

Everything I lived has been popping up in my memory

For some reason I don't know, I only remember the good things

Nowhere is better than inside me

However, I need the other side

Oh! I miss my life
