Mesa Água

Domingos Tótora's mesa água is the picture of a lazy brook. The glass top evokes sunlight sparkling on water washing over pebbles smoothed from years of a natural polishing process. The sight of it carries one away to a quiet afternoon of rest. Each stone is a solid piece, molded from layers of cardboard pulp and paste, akin to the process of sediment settling into a riverbed. There may be no artist who demonstrates sustainability as wholly as Domingos. His masterworks have journeyed full circle, narrating the story of sustainable earth without uttering a single word.
