Fora existe o mundo begins with restlessness and the desire to cross boundaries, with references to Portuguese literature, the sea, the land and the gestures of those who build. Conceived in dialogue with the architecture of the space in which it was installed, the work incorporates circular forms, references to Portuguese azulejo tiles, and a colour palette drawn from the building itself. The figures and gestures that move through the composition suggest movement, discovery, and an openness to what lies beyond familiar boundaries. In its final version, the composition became more expansive and irregular, extending beyond the limits initially defined.
