ICEBREAKER, my traveling, outdoor, art installation commemorates the lives of human beings who died under the custody of and/or killed by the agents of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement since January 2025. ICEBREAKER evokes the American Dream of homeownership, family values, and safety. ICEBREAKER is a memorial, a place of Descanso (in Portuguese) or resting place, a theme that is found in my previous installation, Realm of the Dead, where I highlight the horrors of the Brazil’s dictatorship (1964-1985), during which I was born and grew up.
