English: The project we developed for Tai Ping was based on the idea of separation and reconciliation, as exists in the relationships between foreign and native, tradition and innovation, or crafts and technology.
While researching about the beginning of the connection between China and Brazil, we came across a gorgeous painting depicting the first Chinese immigrants. In 1812, they came from Macau to Rio de Janeiro to introduce the cultivation of green tea in Brazil, a Portuguese colony at the time.
This image became the starting point of our digital poetic narrative. Utilizing our digital tools, we created new relationships between its color and composition. These elements were finally re-arranged using the data of the melody of a traditional Chinese song that talks about "separation".
The resulting image is a contemporary visual narrative encapsulating some of the history between China and Brazil.
