The MUSA owns a digital print, donated by the author in 2015, which records a moment in history based on research performed out of curiosity to understand the content of things. The piece formed part of the series Horizonte plano, The Center of the Things (Flat Horizon, The Center of Things), produced in 2012, through which the author sought to show the hidden part of a lot of soccer, tennis balls, etc., using a die-cutting machine. The image shows the instant in which a golf ball bursts after being crushed. For the artist, it is a form of symbolically representing the pressure that the social environment exerts on the individual. The piece is accompanied by a video that contains the process that culminated in the photography shot.
