“Traços do Tempo" (Traces of Time) is a conceptual collection that criticises the obsession with excessive plastic surgery and the quest for eternal youth. Through a striking visual narrative, the pieces evolve from exaggerated volumes, representing the authenticity of ageing, to rigid and shiny shapes, symbolising aesthetic artificiality. With a palette of neutral tones and materials that explore skin textures, the collection invites reflection on body acceptance and the beauty of its natural transformations.
