Illustration was the artform we chose to portray the theme of “returning home” in this 6th chapter of the Embracing Slow Making series. With this collection, we aspired to praise the positive part that the pandemic has unleashed on the whole of humanity. A closer look at our great home, Mother Earth, reflected in a greater awareness of our actions.

Joana Soares is our guest artist. She is an illustrator, architect, mother of three girls and creator of “Violeta Cor de Rosa”. Her creations are the mirror of the pure way she delivers herself in each piece. Owner of a fantastic imaginary, Joana manages through her illustrations, spaces, objects and even the food itself, to awaken the taste for creative making.
