Restlessemerges from Tamara Alves’ ongoing exploration of the body as a site of inscription, vulnerability, and resistance. Developed from a unique work first presented in her most recent solo exhibition at Underdogs,And Your Flesh Becomes a Poem, the edition translates physical and emotional intensity into an intimate object, where language is permanently engraved with a tattoo machine into layered acrylic. Through this gesture, writing becomes trace and memory, activating a sustained tension between presence, silence, and the passage of time.
