The exhibition tries to showcase the cross-cultural context by exploring the TERRA, the CONSTRUCTED objects and the HUMANITY, merging with the assimilations between the aboriginal and exotic visions, to evoke a complex and memorial intuition.

"The Mixed" is not a point of arrival. Rather than that, it's a starting point of humanity under the terra and constructions.
