Quimiparque (The Worker) — Baía do Tejo — Walls work, 2018, Barreiro, Portugal

The Worker (2018) occupies a wall inside the former Quimiparque industrial complex on Avenida da CUF, Barreiro, part of the Parque Empresarial da Baía do Tejo. The portrait is set against panoramic references to the surrounding factory structures, reconnecting the site with the labour that once defined it. The wider campaign carried carved shipyard cranes, boats and dockside motifs along the industrial waterfront of Barreiro and Seixal, extending the portraits across a long rendered wall. Vhils developed the piece here, where the site's industrial history stays legible inside its present use. Photo: Sebastião Góis.
