Alexandre Lyra Leite draws inspiration from a verse in the poem “O Navio de Espelhos”, by Mário Cesariny, to construct an emotional anagram — a continuous cycle of action and reaction in which internal and external forces collide, distort, and rebuild themselves in a silent choreography.
This process of permutation mirrors the dynamism of human emotions, which, like an anagram, are constantly reconfigured into new combinations and meanings.
The piece offers a reflection on emotional overload and the subtle layers of communication that surface in everyday life, drawing a parallel between atmospheric pressure and the intangible weight of inner experience.
Air becomes a vehicle of symbolic and psychological charge — dense and palpable, as if it contained all the words left unspoken.
