The work Coral is born from the observation of the coral snake (cobra-coral), a serpent with a strong presence in Brazilian fauna. 

Known for its venomous potency and its singular beauty, the true coral snake also became a symbol of duality: between strength and fragility, truth and illusion, since many non-venomous species mimic its colors to survive. This tension between the real and the apparent, between threat and fascination, constitutes the starting point for the sculpture.
