UR.DIR Book
Book design for the structure Gravity Forms, with artistic direction by Maria Olas, Jordan Santos and Vítor Alves da Silva. The book gathers the dramaturgical text said during the theater play UR.DIR performed in the shape of solo by Vítor Alves da Silva and presented in the cities of Porto and Lisbon , along with illustrations created specifically during the development of the project by the artist Dylan Silva.
UR.DIR proposes a reflection on the relationship between time and space, action and inertia, singular and plural, presenting a structured body that gradually breaks apart as it reflects on the various inherent elements of that same place: from existentialism to romanticism, from naturalism to post-dramatic.
Project developed under the support of Criatório and Câmara Municipal de Lisboa.

Mário Ferreira da Silva Exhibition
Identity for the retrospective exhibition showcasing the life and work of the Portuguese artist Mário Ferreira da Silva, a pioneering artist who dedicated a major part of his life to ceramics. The title Cerâmica com C maiúsculo was taken from a critical text written by Júlio Resende in 1986 and the exhibition took place at AJHLP, Porto during the months of June and July 2023. The artist's ability to blend organicity and geometry to portray the human condition were the trigger to develop the graphic approach.
Thanks to Alice Santos for the trust to bring something capable of honoring her grandfather, and also thanks to Sérgio Barros, the exhibition curator and Mafalda Morais.
