plant

“Vitché is probably one of the real heroes of everyday life. He tirelessly fights a great dragon. In the case of the São Paulo-born artist, the monstrosity is life in the big city with all its hierarchies and institutionalization. The rigid organization of the urban living environment makes us more functioning and consuming passer-by than a community with an awareness of our own social identity. "
