Bardo (2015) addresses the individual's inadequacy in facing the global environmental crisis. The title, taken from Tibetan Buddhism, means " intermediate state" and unfolds in three stages. In the work, the narrative is carried by a figure, covered and concealed by a mantle composed of  plastic ropes and remnants recovered from the sea. In the first stage, the figure takes shape out of the earth, in parallel with a car whizzing past and an airplane. The next stage moves the figure over land towards the sea. In the last stage takes the figure into the sea and allows them to float with the waves and currents.
