Em “Placidez e Perplexidade” Arjan Martins apresenta, em primeiro plano, o jovem João Pedro – injustamente assassinado pela polícia carioca em 2020 na favela do Salgueiro, Rio de Janeiro – vestindo uniforme escolar e cobrindo seu rosto com a mão ao enxugar as lágrimas. Imagem crucial para percerber a violência e a perpetuação da da condição de exploração do corpo negro no Brasil até hoje, embutidas nas estruturas racistas da contemporaneidade, que matam a esmo crianças e adolescentes moradoras de comunidades. O conjunto imagético no plano posterior une elementos como uma coroa à expressão do menino retratado e seu assombro com o passado presente.

In "Placidez e Perplexidade", Arjan Martins presents, in the foreground, the young João Pedro - unjustly murdered by the Rio police in 2020 in the Salgueiro favela, in Rio de Janeiro - wearing a school uniform and covering his face with his hand while wiping as claws. Crucial image to perceive the violence and perpetuation of the condition of exploitation of the black body in Brazil until today, embedded in contemporary racist structures, which kill haphazard children and adolescents living in communities. The imagery set in the posterior plane is an element like a crown of the expression of a portrayed boy and his amazement at the present past.
