In 2019, the year of the pandemic, will dias came up with the "Living Object" project, an initiative that explores the infinite possibilities of everyday objects, especially in the context of skate culture. The project aims to discover and create new meanings for these objects, breaking with traditional interpretations and revealing new dimensions of their existence.

Through performances that go beyond the sport, "Objeto Vivo" is about experiencing skateboarding in innovative ways without the skateboard itself, proposing a philosophical reflection on our reality and the way we interact with the material world. By transgressing the immediate appearances of objects in their basic use, the project opens up an unexplored field of possibilities, stimulating new discussions and perspectives on culture and the objects that surround us.

"Noggles GG" ⌐◨-◨ is a creative and artistic short film, conceived by me, which explores skateboarding culture in a unique way. It was produced by videomaker Renan "Dino". The video takes a surreal approach, showing a "Nogglesboard" - an autonomous skateboard - traveling through different landscapes in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This artistic and thought-provoking vision won recognition, being chosen and awarded in the Gnars Contest, standing out for its originality and the way it connects skateboard culture with contemporary art.

Encountering stones along the way can be discouraging. They can make us stop, question our choices and sometimes even think about giving up. However, it is essential to remember that each stone brings a valuable lesson. In some cases, they force us to re-evaluate our path, explore new directions or develop the skills needed to overcome them. They teach us patience and perseverance, showing us that, with time and effort, there is an opportunity for growth and transformation, strengthening our resilience and ability to face future challenges.

The crowd is his element, as the air is that of birds and water of fishes. His passion and his profession are to become one flesh with the crowd. [...] To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito." (Charles Baudelaire).

This condition allowed Will to walk the streets with no apparent purpose, but secretly aware of the history of the places where he passed and the possibility of aesthetic adventures that every detail of the city - his architecture - represents. In the era of Liquid Modernity, Will moves over his skating across the metropolis like a fish in a river, ignoring divisions and barriers, taking forms, occupying spaces, diluting certainties, beliefs and practices.

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is near to hear, does it make any noise?" This is a fundamental question for a philosophical and mental experiment that raises doubts about observation and knowledge of reality.
