Flavia Esmeralda is a Brazilian designer and visual artist working with photography and image-based practices. Her work explores intersections between urban space, material processes, and mythological structures, approaching the image as residue, gesture, and field rather than representation.
Rooted in visual design and street photography, her practice brings together fragmented bodies, architectural surfaces, organic matter, and symbolic systems to investigate memory, transformation, and structural tension.
Her current research engages Afro-Brazilian cosmologies not as iconography, but as systems of force. Through process-based approaches involving water, clay, and the body, she examines origin, dissolution, and return, allowing images to remain unstable and in flux.
