The combination of the "BRIK" and "ROOTZ" projects, conceived by Felipe Carneiro in early 2023, creates a compelling narrative that explores the themes of self-reflection, self-realization, conformity, isolation, and personal growth.
"BRIK" captures the concept of being "Another Brick in the Wall," symbolizing conformity and the struggle to break free from societal norms and expectations. It portrays a sense of rebellion and defiance against the status quo, encapsulated by the image of a person poised to throw a brick. This project highlights the importance of individuality and the desire to assert one's identity.
On the other hand, "ROOTZ" delves into the rooted feelings of loneliness, introspection, and self-assimilation. It portrays the inner struggles and emotional complexities that individuals may experience while navigating the modern world. The image of a person looking up toward the light symbolizes the pursuit of self-awareness and enlightenment, offering a sense of hope and transformation.
Together, these two projects create a powerful narrative that explores the multifaceted nature of the human experience.
