Maintenance - The challenge of getting all the tasks done and keeping them in order each day made me think about the mechanisms of everyday life. The work Maintenance brings a questioning about the daily acts, about what is important to us, and a reflection about what we do every day to exist. It is also an invitation for a journey into one's private universe. The plates bring the meaning of what is necessary and essential for each one. And its round shape also refers to the clock, schedules and deadlines, do we know how to use time? We depend on objects, those considered futile, to accomplish what we want and even reveal who we are. They show what is private and intimate about someone, priorities, passions, professions and even their own identity. Brands inevitably appear, consuming also builds who we become. The object is placed in the center as something essential and necessary for our actions. Just as we depend on human inventions for our existence. Objects are perhaps our only chance at perpetuity. We have obligations and pleasures that are as essential as meals. The empty plate is always a point that bothers the image, and it is purposely in the work to provoke. The void instigates the need to be filled, when the intention is to give space and freedom to the spectator to take or add something, and again bring the questioning about their own actions. The other's question can be mine, and something that belongs to one belongs to the other too. This happens randomly with objects. Something for the personal use of a person, generates identification, curiosity or is common to those who observe the work.

Vanessa Dutra was born and lives in São Paulo. The beginning in the art was through dance, at the age of four she began to practice classical ballet. Training as a dancer has had a great influence on her life and is part of who she is. Led the artist to acquire discipline and the repetition habit, develop her artistic side, and encourage her creativity and imagination. The passion for music and movement have always been present. As a dancer, she participated in many dance performances and was awarded in several national competitions. On choosing photography as the medium to produce her work, she said: “I chose photography because it is a portrait of reality, and it is a challenge for me to be able to transform that reality with my action of capturing. Photography is unquestionable as a record, true, instantaneous and perpetual at the same time. A test, but one that can be modified and gain other meanings with the eyes of the other. Working with other media and formats is not out of the question, expression is interesting to me in many ways, but this is the medium I've used the most so far. ” The artist constantly wants to raise issues that are of personal importance, and share with those who observe the work, offering the public the possibility of changing the way they see and think about their own life. “I want to send a message with my image. I like to move things around and bring a new meaning to the object and everything in the world around me. When everything takes on a new meaning, I too can give a new meaning to things, a meaning that is more important to me. I always want to find a use for the things that happen to me and for what I see or encounter. Everything that happens generates a thought for me, and I like to be very observant. I chose art, because that way I can work with different subjects, I have a lot of curiosity and a lot of things interest me, because everything is part of life. Sometimes, problems inspire me to create, transforming themselves into riches, just as beauty can transform what is darkest in life. Observing life from different points of view in order to understand the other becomes fundamental. What I observe can change its meaning if I look from a different place. Everything is the same, it is my action that makes the change, the difference in the world. I like not knowing, so I'm always looking for an answer, and open to new opinions.
