A obra em tecido foi concebida pelo artista e executada pelas matriarcas de sua família, em ponto cruz e crochê, trazendo como figura principal a força e o simbolismo presente na imagem da foice roçadeira. É uma ferramenta que abre os caminhos do mato fechado para o plantio, mas também traz novas perspectivas no horizonte através de sua representação como arma simbólica das lutas pela terra dos trabalhadores rurais. A foice também pode ser entendida como um objeto sagrado que espiritualmente representa a abertura de caminhos. A obra parte do conceito “casa-templo” desenvolvido pelo artista, que explora objetos do cotidiano, como peças utilitárias e decorativas da casa, para transformá-las em objetos sagrados.

The work on fabric was designed by the artist and made by the matriarchs of his family, in cross-stitch and crochet, featuring as its main figure the strength and symbolism present in the image of the scythe. It's a tool that opens up the paths of the closed bush for planting, but also brings new perspectives to the horizon through its representation as a symbolic weapon of the rural workers' struggles for land. The scythe can also be understood as a sacred object that spiritually represents the opening of paths. The work is part of the "house-temple" concept developed by the artist, who explores everyday objects, such as utilitarian and decorative parts of the house, to transform them into sacred objects.
