The Mamões. 2011 A satire on the powerful who dominate the world. It is based on the legend of Romulus and Remus. They were saved by a she-wolf who suckled them and gave rise to the great Roman Empire. The dairy pig, with its large teats squirting milk, symbolizes the natural resources that sustain life. Sick and spitting blood as a result of the abuse of powerful predators who suck the life out of it. They are phallic figures who fuck everything, who want everything. They believe themselves to be untouchable and protected, with an insatiable greed in the struggle for power, which results in a dramatic imbalance in the distribution of the world's wealth in which everyone suffers, in favor of their own economic and financial interests, indifferent to the survival of their own species due to the abuse and waste of natural resources. Millions of women, men and children experience extreme forms of the scourge of hunger, and the prospects for development are not very encouraging. Hunger has been killing for a long time, and it has ceased to be news in the international press. The world is witnessing the globalization of financial speculation. New predators are annihilating entire economic sectors of countries in stock market operations, some carried out at any given point. Capital has no homeland, nor limits to its accumulation. The means used have lost all moral connotation and have been converted into simple financial "operations". The world is now witnessing the expansion of consumerism in a predatory logic of resources. A third of humanity consumes impulsively. They care little about who manufactured the products, the conditions under which they were made and at what cost. Faced with this panorama, human rights, although they are the only consistent reference, are also a reference devoid of meaning for the majority of humanity, for whom the priority issue is physical survival day after day. 220 cm tall.
