Work
In 2016 Felippe Moraes constructed his Monument to The Horizon (2016), a large-scale permanent public sculpture placed at Caminho Niemeyer in Niterói.[6][7] The work is a five-meter tall steel tower around a small set of stairs that lead to a strip in the metal, revealing the horizon of Rio de Janeiro on the opposite side of the Guanabara Bay.[6]
In 2017 was artist-in-residence in Tehran, Iran[1] and in Slanic-Moldova, Romania,[8][9][10] where he constructed his Monument to Euclid (2017), consisting of eight sandstones in a circle in the woods, and paying homage to the Greek mathematician Euclid.[11] In 2020 he developed the series of photographs Eledá (2020), relating to his spiritual experiences with the orishas.[12][13][14]
