Canindé

Category: Accessories

The visual construction of the piece begins with the observation of the movement of araras-canindé in flight, translating lightness and strength into an organic silhouette that evokes the opening of wings. The shoulder bag is structured to balance presence and fluidity, with an opening system that recalls the gesture of wings flapping, creating an intuitive and symbolic interaction with the user. The surface is composed of overlapping leather cutouts, inspired by the texture of feathers, creating an effect of depth and rhythm. This construction does not seek a literal reproduction, but rather an abstract interpretation that carries the visual memory of the macaws. The variation between more complete and fragmented cutouts suggests the passage of time and the reduction of their presence in the territory. The color palette is inspired by the araras-canindé, with shades of blue and yellow introduced in a subtle way, engaging with Brazilian identity without resorting to direct representations. These elements appear strategically, revealing themselves through details and layers, like a discovery throughout use. The choice of leather as the main material reinforces the idea of permanence, while the use of scraps introduces a logic of reuse and conscious construction. Stitching and fittings are designed to highlight the process and allow maintenance over time, incorporating durability as part of the aesthetic. The result is a piece that moves between the symbolic and the functional, where form, material, and narrative come together to transform memory into object.
