This minimalist artwork features the word "DOCENT" in large, monochromatic lettering against a plain white background. The clean, simple composition relies solely on the stark contrast between the text and the empty space, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking piece.

Talita Zaragoza, born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1985, is an artist working with painting, drawing, and photography. Her inspiration is rooted in the dynamic between humanity and nature, exploring our urge to shape and control the landscape.
In her paintings and drawings, Zaragoza weaves together landscapes from memory, creating a realm reminiscent of ever-changing maps. These maps adapt to shifts in politics, the environment, and the viewer's perspective. As observers, we are in constant flux, projecting ourselves into the landscape and, consequently, into her art.
Since 2012, Zaragoza has been based in New York, where she studied at the International Center for Photography (ICP), focusing on Fine Arts photography. She holds a B.A. in Fine Arts (2008) and a Master’s degree in Art History (2010) from Fundação Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in São Paulo, Brazil.
