The Old Nest
The Old Nest is part of the essay TESSITURAS DO SERTÃO, inspired by simple figures portrayed in a "rebuilt beauty", investigating the ambience and body textures of the caatinga, its living beings or not. Using photography, make-up and intertextuality, a dialogue between visual and hybrid texts is constructed as a mosaic in the midst of a chromatic and visual adaptation, seeking the genuine, as popular, beliefs, wanderings and manifestations, re-reading the traditional from the application of natural and unconventional elements that become protagonists in the images, as in this case the straw in "The Old Nest" as an essential element for the composition, adding concept to invade human faces and bodies.
In Tessituras we have a conversation between life, death and rebirth, between static and movement, between being and being, breaking and standing, between disbelief and believing. That touches the heart, that brings some feeling, that carries for a moment, for a situation, for a sensation. The possibility of transmitting emotions, desires, loves, pains, thoughts.
An image is what you see and what is around you ...
... she is what is inside
and what's outside
... is what awakens in the other in some sense.
This essay deals, in reverse, with faith, love and hope.
