The work presents two sheets of transparent acrylic, each with a different image that, when placed opposite each other, complement each other, forming a complete figure. The upper part shows an urban landscape and the lower part a forest. The division, or dichotomy, as the artist points out, is evident and intentional here. In addition, it also brings up the discussion of the different types of physical support for photography.

He worked for many years producing images with important names in Brazilian and foreign photography, both for the advertising and editorial markets.
