"Suspensa no espaço, disposta em uma altura mediana para os olhos, se vista de longe só se percebe sua materialidade macia e convidativa, mas em seu interior, ela se revela outra. Pela oposição material presente no dentro e fora, é possível criar um conflito de sensações quando acontece o confronto com o perigo evocado pelas pontas dos alfinetes. É como se Coisinha tivesse saído de uma espécie de fábula, que torna muito próximo o que é adulto do que é infantil, o que machuca do que acolhe, o que é bicho do que é gente, o que se revela do que se esconde.


[Suspended in space, arranged at an average height for the eyes, if seen from afar one can only perceive its soft and inviting materiality, but inside it reveals something else. Through the material opposition between inside and outside, it is possible to create a conflict of sensations when confronted with the danger evoked by the points of the pins. It's as if Coisinha had come out of a kind of fable, which brings together what is adult and what is childish, what hurts and what welcomes, what is animal and what is people, what is revealed and what is hidden."]
