- Hyper-detailed pen-and-ink work reminiscent of Milo Manara but with grittier Brazilian favela backdrops.
- Recurring themes of gender duality, bodily transformation, and taboo sexuality.
- A short-lived series As Panteras, featuring two female vigilantes (or thieves—the plot often blurred morality).
- Vivid sensory writing—compellingly synesthetic and evocative.
- Original metaphoric frame—animal-human hybridity is sustained and generative.
- The text’s formal choices (fragmentation, repetition) effectively embody psychological states.
- Ambiguity is used productively: it resists reductive readings and opens interpretive space.
