Hi, I’m Rafaela Mori, a visual artist based in Sydney, Australia.
My artistic practice is rooted in my experience of migration: a continuous negotiation between worlds, cultures, and ways of being. As a Brazilian born artist based in Australia, I explore the emotional and psychological landscapes shaped by location, notions of belonging, and the construction of identity in transit.
Through botanical forms native to the places I have lived mixed with my own imagined elements, I paint compositions that occupy a cultural in-between territory where identity is not fixed but constantly remade. These compositions embody a state of hybridity where fruits and plants created by me represent the feelings and experiences of living between cultures.
