"Homenagem à Pipa II" estabelece um diálogo entre a linguagem formal de Josef Albers e as memórias de infância de Miguel Afa no Complexo do Alemão, onde nasceu e cresceu. Alternando tons dessaturados com cores vibrantes, o artista emprega pigmentos em relevo, além do uso de espaço negativo, que intensifica o equilíbrio entre forma e vazio. Ancorado em sua experiência vivida, o trabalho investiga a memória emocional e a relação entre cor e forma, desdobrando-se como uma série contínua de repetição, autonomia e transformação.

[“Homenagem à Pipa II” establishes a dialogue between Josef Albers' formal language and Miguel Afa's childhood memories in Complexo do Alemão, where he was born and raised. Alternating between desaturated tones and vibrant colors, the artist employs relief pigments and negative space, intensifying the balance between form and emptiness. Anchored in his lived experience, the work investigates emotional memory and the relationship between color and form, unfolding as a continuous series of repetition, autonomy, and transformation.]
