Leonor Brilha combines painting, illustration, and urban art in her work, with a style based on meticulous drawing, precise lines, and the use of symbols to tell stories. In this mural, the woman's hair transforms into the sea and a storm, while a caravel alludes to Portuguese maritime tradition and the ancient Cape of Storms. The face hidden within the hair reinforces the idea that the external landscape also represents an inner world. The phrase —“No one is born tormented. Life becomes entangled like strands of hair”— summarizes the metaphor: life's difficulties entangle us, just like hair. Thus, Brilha transforms historical and everyday elements into a poetic and narrative image, characteristic of her way of integrating illustration, symbolism, and urban space.
