Black Tinted Heart - disconstructing a gun

Alves was invited to participate to participate in a group exhibition entitled “Imagine peace now” with the goal to raise awareness to the issue of gun violence in America. Every artist was given a real gun (from buy back programs to take guns off the streets) to create an art piece.

The work travelled for a year in the United States to show in different galleries, such as AC Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston and Wellington B. Gray Gallery, Greenville, NC.
