In Untitled (2020), Gomes delves into her Afro-Brazilian heritage, drawing upon both personal and historical narratives from the African diaspora. Her layered, tactile constructions evoke a sense of memory and connection, reflecting on how individual and collective backgrounds influence identity. Through her use of materials and form, Gomes invites
