"A corrida do umbu é uma festa tradicional do povo pankararu, onde se encontra o primeiro umbu, que é um fruto típico da caatinga (umbuzeiro). E aí, quando se encontra esse umbu, tem uma celebração, e o fechamento dessa fruta. Então, assim, tem o fechamento, e o fechamento dessa fruta vai dar continuidade à sequência de outras festas, né, que vão seguir em outros finais de semana, celebrando essa corrida do umbu, que é o aparecimento desse fruto. Então, é uma relação de exaltação também da natureza. Nossa pintura corporal, ela é branca, é o barro branco. O barro branco sagrado que tem um momento para ser usado, tem toda uma questão de ser retirado em um local específico. Então, eu gosto de utilizar tanto traços circulares, como o círculozinho branco, que são as bolinhas brancas... E são isso, eu gosto de colocar alguns elementos, né. Por exemplo, eu falei um pouco da corrida do umbu, que vai ter provavelmente daqui um certo tempo, né, próximo do carnaval. E aí eu simbolizo essa corrida do umbu, através do fechamento do umbu, que é colocar a frutinha lá em cima. Então, da minha forma, eu tento ter essa conexão, e retratar essa festa aí."
