Braços Verdes e Olhos Cheios de Asas is a portraiture of the Amazonian region. It is made from fragments of vernacular images that depict the territory (and that are part of the visual material that make the region a particularly fantasized place), and from images made during a trip, experiencing the territory of the Amazonian region, by the riversides of Rio Negro and the Amazon river.
