Let it be Color! As a result of a two weeks residency at the Convento São Francisco de Mértola, (link www.conventomertola.com/en) a continuation to the works called "Traces" was pursued. Lines were explored following the idea of merging elements rather than isolating concepts and feelings. Inspired from the colors of nature, translated into individual observations and not of finished "products".

The Convent and its animals also inspired an animation dedicated to Kyazi: "This is for You", with a total duration of 4 min. currently being translated from English to Portuguese and Italian.

This is for You (2009), duration 4min, digital video.
