The female graffiti artist Irene Avramelos, known in the streets as Eneri, works from pixação, the São Paulo urban writing practice that has become one of the city’s most powerful visual and political marks. Rooted in risk, visibility, and territorial presence, pixação is both writing and action - and in Eneri’s work, it becomes a declaration of love for the street. Her edition is grounded in lived experience, where the body is suspended, exposed, and placed in direct tension with the urban space. Over the photograph, pixação intersects with her own lettering, bringing the written phrase: “I risk my life for loving the street too much.”

The action involved physical risk as well as legal consequences, resulting in a vandalism charge, alongside other records under her civil name. Even so, as she states, “It is the need to express oneself, to feel alive, to paint an entire building even when such a space had never been granted to you before.”
