During her residency at the John David Mooney Foundation, Iria do Castelo produced a body of work inspired by her first experiences in America and the nature of Lake Michigan.
For this exhibition, she unfolds a symbolic universe in the forms of a post-Anthropocene fable. In "Arcana Natura" the visual narrative is configured as a forest through which the visitor moves in a web of relations between the pieces. The exhibition space becomes a place of discovery and transformation, where the edges of two worlds, the real and the imaginary, mingle giving rise to new possibilities.
