Discos Voadores são desdobramentos do Balé Literal de Laura, uma grande obra em movimento apresentada pela primeira vez na encruzilhada em frente à A Gentil Carioca (2019) e depois no MACBA, em Barcelona. As esculturas suspensas e que se movem suavemente por causa de uma mola, derivam de um dos entes do Balé: um objeto construído a partir de dois pratos de porcelana sobrepostos, que evoca a figura de um disco voador. Os demais Discos são feitos de peças de metal e recipientes de vidro e cerâmica, penduradas do teto com molas metálicas.

[Discos Voadores were developed from the work Balé Literal, a large moving installation first presented at the crossroads in front of the gallery A Gentil Carioca (2019) and later at MACBA, in Barcelona. The suspended sculptures derive from one of Balé's beings: an object made from two overlapping porcelain plates, evoking the figure of a flying saucer. The other Discos are sculptures (or sculpture-creatures, as the artist calls them) made of metal pieces and glass and ceramic containers, hung from the ceiling with metal springs. These works appear as sentient beings, extraterrestrial creatures endowed with their own qualities and characteristics, floating through the exhibition space.]
