An iconic monumental diptych of black-and-white street art murals painted across twin high-rise blind facades overlooking Praça Franklin Roosevelt. Created by acclaimed Brazilian muralist Hanna Lucatelli, the twin artworks combine evocative imagery of the sacred feminine with poetic reflections. The left facade depicts a mother carrying a baby on her back while guiding her child by hand, inscribed with the verse 'Tudo que é imenso me habita e me acolhe. Sou galáxia de possibilidades.' The right facade portrays a serene woman crowned with a radiant solar halo holding a vessel of water, inscribed with the question 'Você já se deu conta de que somos infinitas?'. Together, they form one of the most recognized and photographed street art landmarks in central São Paulo.
