A work from the artist's "Everything Works in America" series. Through the lens of traditional American and Brazilian consumerist products, Abeid's ceramic sculptures explore an evolving perspective towards a country she applauds/applauded. “Everything works in America” were her first words in the U.S., in admiring shock at an outstanding example of efficiency that is possibly nonexistent in Brazil. But Abeid progressively noticed a lack of warmth from Americans and came to appreciate the art of improvisation in Brazil, the only place she called home.

"In a way, we are what we consume, and a country is what it demands to consume." - Abeid

Among the simplest forms and labels of American and Brazilian products lie subtle comparisons of two societies and their consumerism.
