The production design constructs spaces of intimacy, where the environment acts as a mediator of human relationships. Everyday interiors and exteriors are developed through verisimilitude, emphasizing the proximity between bodies, architecture, and objects. The materiality of the spaces sustains a sensitive narrative in which affection and conflict emerge less from explicit action and more from the relationship between characters and territory.

Production design of the feature film Abraço, directed by DF Fiúza (2019). In 2008, teachers in Sergipe fought a legal battle with the state government to prevent the loss of rights that had already been won. 30,000 teachers from all over the state leave their schools and set off on a long journey to fight in the capital Aracaju. The challenge is to convince the judges of the Court of Justice not to vote for the end of the teaching career. The trial is postponed twice, and the battle lasts a month. In the midst of this struggle between government and teachers, teacher Ana Rosa experiences the challenge of being a mother, a woman and a union leader. She needs to reconcile the multiple tasks of professional and domestic life, but the lack of comprehension by her husband and her own mother makes her journey even more challenging.
