"Sentimento" is a deeply personal work that expresses cherished memories with friends and acquaintances, along with the warm feelings they evoke, all intricately woven into the fabric of my life's journey. During times of self-reflection, I frequently find myself reminiscing about the past, and the first things that come to mind are the treasured memories I've had with friends, followed by the emotions associated with those memories. Finally, these reflections elicit a profound sense of gratitude toward those friends.

This sense of gratitude comes from the belief that they have shaped who I am today, along with a deep appreciation for the connections we've made. "Sentimento" attempts to express these sentiments, ranging from fleeting memories and associated feelings to the overall warmth and gratitude I feel for those who have influenced my life.

This artwork represents my first major creation since experiencing a paradigm shift that transformed my perspective from being a creative coder to becoming a true generative artist. The theme for this work seems appropriate, as I wouldn't be making this without the influence of the people I've encountered along the way.
