The Green-headed tanager (Tangara seldom) - or Saíra-sete-cores (seven color saira) - is a brightly colored bird found in the Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil. The composition conveys the idea of a natural sanctuary inspired by the roots of mangroves and tropical vegetation, where a group of tanagers can gather. The artist highlights the role of the natural environment as a habitat of abundance and protection. The representation of birds alongside roots also alludes to the opposing feelings of freedom and belonging.
