These works depict a Luanda where the city was clean and its smells were pleasant, forming part of the identity of the people who lived there. These same smells merged with the cultural fabric of the people. In fact, in these works I present vases sprouting flowers, which for me represent the birth of new scents and ways of being cultivated by the socio-political system of the country. In this case, the flowers speak of lives that the system does not allow to sprout and perfume society, and the vases turned upside down show the strength of overcoming in cities where the systems have distorted their way of life, where before they helped each other and today they fight against each other for everything and nothing, where love has been replaced by greed, the lack of love for one's neighbor, and where the stench of sewage has taken over the city because the system does not allow the city's flowers to sprout and release the perfume that can come from the soul and the right to freedom, not only education and all other rights of which people are deprived to the point of never blossoming and releasing scents of progress and freedom.
