Installation with crystals, pyrite, ammonite, gold, silver, bronze, and other mineral elements
A symbol of gathering and sharing, the table becomes a space of reverence for the very origin of life. Crystals, metals, and fossils take the place of food, reminding us that human history is only a recent chapter in a far older narrative, written over millions of years by the Earth itself. By bringing together geological elements from different eras and origins, Banquete da Terra invites visitors to sense their connection to the deep processes that shape the planet.
