Crisálida [Chrysalis] (a project by Sofia Pinto) is the name given to the metallic gold colouring of a butterfly pupae. It is the third stage in the life of these insects, in which they hardly move, except to wiggle their segments and emit sounds to scare away predators.

This chrysalis is no different, it's a state of latency and embryo, waiting for something to define itself before it has the courage to come out of its protective shell. Until it flies, it hides there, never falling asleep, lulling itself with cassette tapes and organ chords while it discovers how and where its voice is. Wings on its back, flight on the soundboard.
