Graça Morais. O outro somos nós

Evil is provocative in many ways and has been widely analyzed by philosophers due to the ease with which the destructive option presents itself. In Western art, it has been reflected in sacred works as a mirror of ungodly actions, but it transcends faith, also infiltrating secular life, as Goya noted. In 2018, Graça Morais revisited the theme of the Metamorphoses of Humanity through several exhibitions. I then wrote a brief text on the drawings presented for the exhibition catalog at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, in 2019. This article continues that analysis, exploring how the abstraction of evil becomes concrete through proximity, and how drawing can foster a more intimate and empathetic vision.
