About the Artist:
Castiel embodies Transmutation as an inevitable calling, seamlessly weaving through and embracing her Bantu ontology. She perceives healing as a transient moment of liberation, delving deep into the realms of spirituality and interspecies ancestry. As an artist, writer, and psychologist, Castiel's work transcends dual dimensions, delving into existential and corporeal healing while reclaiming and redefining the spaces she inhabits.

Her artistic repertoire encompasses performance, video, photography, installation, and pictorial practices, traversing a vast spectrum that intersects common traditions within the realms of art, healing, encounters, Afro-Brazilian spiritual practices, and psycho-spiritual dimensions. Castiel's magnetic imagery challenges preconceived notions, dismantling dichotomies between culture and nature while dismantling structures that perpetuate racialization and constrain the fluidity of human experiences.

Her actions serve as a conduit for trauma, providing direction for their resolution. Interweaving diverse forms of knowledge, she fosters exchanges and transformations of all kinds, culminating in rituals propelled by the power of language, the rhythmic sway of the body, and the nurturing of the soul. Through her elemental inventiveness and esoteric transgressions, Castiel channels actions and vibrations from realms both tangible and ethereal.
