The braziliam word 'Favela' means a shanty-town. As the people who lives in Favelas do, I did with my woodcuts: I've found some pieces of wood on the streets to build my matrix which, after printed, was desconstruct it to give birth to another one, so, in this way, I've printed several houses to form a entire Favela.
