Case With the Matches Painting

Handmade little box made of wood and plywood painted with acrylic and collage. The back of the box of matches is glued in the center. The text refers to the photograph which was on the other side of the box showing a famous Portuguese warship from the 16th century, called Botafogo. This old box of matches was a gift from my friend's ex girlfriend, since she knew how much I loved to lit cigarettes with matches. However, these were too old and couldn't burn well, so I decided to use them for my collages. When I used all the matches, only the box left. It was on my desk for a long time until I used it in this work, where it was the first intervention that led to all other interventions.
