"I thought a lot about whether I should tell this story. I didn't know, and I'm still not sure, if I should be the one to tell it. This is someone else's story, and many others', and my little piece of it is very small. I realize this now, taking a step back and seeing the picture I put together with the pieces that weren't mine. This figure still has so many pieces missing, pieces that have gone with the people who carried them.
But, after all, that's why I decided that I should be the one to write about Nery, because I'm here, now, looking for the pieces of his life before more of them are lost. Even though my Nery was Uncle Nery, who was actually my great-uncle. The image of him walking leisurely, as if he had all the time in the world, along the broken sidewalks of the Rosário neighborhood, with a beret on his head and a book under his arm, is as vivid now as it was 12 years ago."

The editorial graphic design and content of this book were produced for the Graphic Design Undergraduate Program at the State University of Santa Catarina between January 2022 and February 2023.
