A personal project
A reinterpretation of one of the most classic works by Machado de Assis, one of the greatest Brazilian writers. The story of the book takes place in the 19th century and the main character, already dead, tells the story of his life. Every detail of the illustration has an important significance of the major events of his life.
The main idea is to separate life and death in a horizontal line in the middle of the illustration.
Life above the line, a healthy body and things that gave meaning for his life.
Death below the line, a rotten body and things that he condemned during his life, such as religion.
