NEO(N) CONCRETE POETRY is a captivating series of neon artworks inspired by the book Never Sent Letters, an anthology of poems by Ana Lucia Souza, featuring illustrations by Piu Afonseca.

Driven by the impulse to materialize poetry, the artists collaborated to create an urgent and timely perspective on the paradoxical relation between the generational wave of narcissism and its effects on our emotionally complex human nature.
