Hope (52), 2023

In this collection, Alfredo Moreira da Silva strips hope of sentimentality and reveals it in its rawest form: a quiet, unrelenting force. These works stand at the intersection of fragility and defiance, capturing the moment when something delicate chooses not to break. Hope here is neither naive nor ornamental. It is the last pulse in the silence, fragile as breath yet harder than despair. It breathes beneath the surface of collapse, holding its ground when certainty has already fallen away. Each piece is a meditation on endurance, on beauty not as decoration but as evidence of survival. Hope emerges as both subject and structure, the invisible architecture that holds us upright when everything else fractures. This is not optimism. It is resolve. A universal language that threads through human stories, crossing borders and histories, guiding us toward what still remains possible. Hope, in this space, becomes a rare currency, quiet, unshakable, and enduring.
