The relationship between the Gomes’s Pendente series of works and their surroundings deepens throughout the exhibition. Visible in the landscape beyond the gallery’s windows is Ó Abre Alas!, Gomes’s outdoor commission. While the Pendentes within the gallery respond to the scale and quietude of the built environment, they are also in conversation with the works outdoors, together creating a visual symphony that reaches outward—toward the open sky, the wind, the rustle of trees. 

Both the indoor and outdoor works are guided by an attentiveness to place and rhythm, extending the language of textile and tension into choreography. The works of Ó Abre Alas! engage not only in a visual dance but in a musical one, where movement is shaped by both form and the surrounding world, much like the pulse of a song. The bending of fabric, the tension of threads, and the space between materials all speak in a lyrical language—fluid and resonant with the echoes of time and place.
