Charles-Barreto-Portfolio

Casa Memória is a pictorial installation that

evokes the sacred, the intimate, and the

forgotten. Its elements—from time-worn wood

to wallpaper bearing the textures of the 1970s—

form a visual and emotional reliquary. The juzu,

the whip, the empty frame, and the church

fragment hint at the presence of the unseen,

spiritual

and

family

memories

intertwined

through layers of silence and noise. A piano

that doesn’t play, yet resonates. A house that

doesn’t shelter, yet reveals.
