Summary

• The pictorial representation of meat is a recurrent element in Adriana Varejãoœs work, and so are the tiles. Her Ruins are marked by a contradiction between something that seems to be solid and cold on one side and soft and hot on the other. Repulsive and at the same time extremely attractive, they question the surfaces that we see and reveal what may be hiding behind them. Varejão opens up fissures in her works and suggests numerous possible reading about colonial heritage, visual history, and exploitation or yet about rationality and eroticism. With no trace of an inquisitorial mindset, the artist invites us to recognize and challenge our own thinking habits, encouraging us to maintain an open, subjective relationship with the world so that one day we may be able to suture those wounds that remain open.
