Maria Ângela Alvim (1932–1959) was a poet from Minas Gerais whose life was very brief and whose body of work is small, yet extremely intense and sensitive. She belongs to a generation of women writers who, despite their talent, remained erased from Brazilian literary history for a long time and have only recently begun to be rediscovered.

Artwork Description (Artistic Synopsis):
A Little Piece of Me is an audiovisual meditation on the reconfiguration of identity in motherhood. The work combines an original poem, written during a period of isolation and conceived as a response to the rigidity of traditional forms, with an intimate visual narrative. Through my own voice and personal photographs, the video documents the journey from the fragmentation of the self to the discovery of a new strength, establishing the body and memory as the central sites of my artistic research.
English Translation of the Poem:
A Little Piece of Me
One day a little piece of me was taken out
and my life that used to be here
was now there, inside that little piece.
I began to care for it every day.
I started to carry my life in my lap,
in my own arms,
and my arms grew strong to protect it.
I was its food, its only food.
I was its home and its comfort.
We were still the same being.
I nourished and hydrated her,
she strengthened and energized me.
I warmed and cooled,
caressed, lulled.
She enchanted and transformed me.
My little piece was now my life.
A new life, intense.
A new being, sensitive, dependent,
generated by me, inside of me.
A profound love.
A new life in my arms.
One day a little piece of me was taken out
and my life that used to be here
was now there, inside that little piece.
