In Tácita, Mylene Costa sculpts in bronze the moment when the female body rests upon itself — with no need to speak, explain, or offer. The sculpture embodies a silent, complete presence — where sensuality is not displayed but perceived, like a secret held within the skin. The curves reveal more than form: they speak of silence, memory, and contained desire. This is a body surrendered to its own time, its own gesture, free from any expectation except that of simply being. Awarded 3rd place in Sculpture at the 11th International Visual Arts Salon (SINAP/AIAP), the piece was recognized by a distinguished jury — Oscar D’Ambrosio, Eliana Tsuru, and Márcio Schiaz — reaffirming the symbolic strength of a sculpture that speaks even in silence. Tácita is the absence of noise — and for that, it is pure presence.
