Amazonia - Heart of the Earth: Jessica Jordao

In early 2025, I traveled to the Brazilian Amazon, and it deepened my love for this vital
region. I was struck by its beauty, grandeur, and contrasts: soft and wild, serene and
powerful.

This series reflects those impressions through bold patterns, rich color palettes, and the
unique texture of yarn — a material I chose for its warmth and symbolic softness. Each
work is inspired by a distinct aspect of the Amazon: its forests, rivers, waterfalls,
Indigenous culture, and the profound sense of spirit that pulses through it all.
Amazonia: Heart of the Earth is my attempt to capture both the visual and emotional
landscapes of one of the most vital places on the planet.
