Nesta pintura instalativa, Cantuária expõe um mundo mágico através de cores vibrantes, figuras históricas significativas e arquétipos do mundo do tarô, criando um ambiente etéreo onde podemos sonhar enquanto lembramos o legado e as esperanças que essas figuras sul-americanas compartilharam conosco.
A temperança reimagina o arquétipo da carta de tarô "A Temperança" com símbolos tetramorfos, ou as quatro energias - fogo, terra, ar e água - representadas em cada canto. A figura de três cabeças no centro reproduz um autorretrato e retratos das ambientalistas Maria do Espírito Santo da Silva e Dorothy Stang, juntamente com a ativista peruana Ruth Buendía. A citação diz "É hora de ver os líderes comunitários da América do Sul como fontes de histórias e soluções valiosas".

[In this painting installation, Cantuária exposes a magical world through vibrant colors, significant historical figures, and archetypes from the tarot world, creating an ethereal environment where we can dream while still remembering the legacy and hopes that these South American figures have shared with us.
"A temperança" reimagines the archetype of the tarot card The Temperance with tetramorph symbols, or the four energies—fire, earth, air, and water—represented on each corner. The three-headed figure in the center depicts a self-portrait and portraits of environmentalists Maria do Espírito Santo da Silva and Dorothy Stang, along with Peruvian activist Ruth Buendía in the center of the body. In the center, the quote translates to "It's time to see the community leaders of South America as sources of valuable histories and solutions."]
