"The Cnidarian Poiesis series is the unfolding of the Utopia and Cells series, and alludes to the cnidarians; multicellular marine species with great capacity for adaptation and regeneration. In this series, I reproduce and cultivate new organic-poetic species: chromo-corals, maps-anemone, Portuguese man o 'war-poems, etc ... in which transform, adapt and modify themselves according to the closer look of the observer. In its topographical layers made of Montval paper and its multiform tentacles, the poem of the Portuguese Fernando Pessoa is present:

“Far from me within me I exist
Apart from who I am,
The shadow and the movement in which I am”

A série Cnidarian Poiesis é um desdobramento das séries Utopia e Cells, e faz alusão aos cnidários; espécies marítimas multicelulares, com grande capacidade de adaptação e regeneração. Nesta série, trago a criação e reprodução de novas espécies orgâno-poéticas: mapas-anêmonas, chromo-corais, Portuguese man o' war-poemas, etc... que se transformam, se adaptam e se modificam de acordo com o olhar atento do observador. Em suas camadas topográficas e seus tentáculos multiformes, o poema do português Fernando Pessoa se faz presente:

“Longe de mim, em mim
Existo a parte de quem sou
A sombra e o movimento em que consisto”
