Drawing identity, from the roots up.

· Mariana Rangel

Brazilian Art

 


My current project on identity didn’t start in a studio or a strategy doc — it started long before, with a pencil in hand and a head full of questions.

As a child, I drew to understand the world. While my family was immersed in Greek myths, I found myself captivated by the legends of Brazil — stories of encantados, forest spirits, resistance, and survival.

I didn’t know it then, but those drawings were early maps of belonging. They held questions I’m still asking today: Who are we beneath the layers? What stories shaped us? What do we carry — and what do we choose to transform?

My identity project is a return to these questions — and an expansion. It blends interviews, text, and visual art to explore how identity is formed, fractured, and reimagined.

The way we see ourselves is never singular. It’s woven from myth and memory, history and hope, personal echoes and collective silence.

This project is my way of tracing those threads — and inviting others to do the same.
