Emerging from Mário Belém’s distinctive visual universe, this edition explores transformation, attraction, and the unpredictable chemistry that emerges between two individuals. Combining elements of popular culture, illustration, and symbolic imagery, the work presents a cocktail Molotov reimagined not as a device of destruction, but as a catalyst for connection and emotional intensity.

Flowers, flames, and liquid forms intertwine within a composition suspended between celebration and combustion, where opposing forces become inseparable. Characteristic of Belém's practice, everyday objects are displaced from their original function and infused with human qualities, transforming familiar forms into vessels for emotion, imagination, and narrative. Balancing tenderness with explosive energy, the work reflects on relationships as forces capable of both disrupting and illuminating the world around them.

Emerging from Tiago Galo’s exploration of everyday gestures and contemporary experience, desNORTE reflects on moments of uncertainty and the search for direction. The title draws on the Portuguese word for disorientation, evoking a state in which familiar points of reference begin to dissolve.

Rendered through the artist’s characteristic visual economy, the composition centers on a solitary figure engaged in an act of navigation. Yet rather than offering certainty, the image suggests a condition of continual searching, where orientation becomes both a physical and emotional process. Balancing simplicity with subtle ambiguity, the work reflects on how individuals position themselves within an increasingly complex world, where the need for direction often coexists with the acceptance of not knowing exactly where to go.
