The artwork “MISSION” belongs to the NEW BORN series, continuing the dialogue between memory, identity, and the future. The piece is built on a base that combines two types of cork: black agglomerated cork and natural beige cork, natural materials that embody both Portuguese heritage and a deep connection to Earth.

The composition merges the face of an elderly woman, drawn in black and white with an urban graphic language, with the painted portrait of a child wearing an astronaut helmet. This juxtaposition creates a symbolic continuum: wisdom and lived experience on one side, curiosity and projection into the unknown on the other.

At the center of this duality lies the phrase:
“HER MEMORY. HIS MISSION.”
– a visual statement about legacy, responsibility, and the continuity of human endeavor.

The textured cork background contrasts with fragments of urban walls and traditional Portuguese tiles applied to the corners of the frame, reinforcing the dialogue between culture, time, and sustainability.

Through the combination of painting, stencil, and collage, MISSION reflects on the human journey: carrying the memory of the past while facing the challenge of shaping the future.
