During 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I lived on a farm in Mutá, in Jaguaripe, Bahia. There, I remained in close contact with natural cycles through observation of birds building nests and the birth of chicks and raising chickens and ducks, awakening my sensitivity to my surroundings. At the same time, close deaths and the consumption of eggs during that period generated a tension between hope-life-birth and fear-death, leading to reflections on the (in)finitude of life. Courses taken during my undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at EBA/UFBA motivated me to conduct academic work on nests from the perspective of comfort and security, as well as eggs as (re)birth. Poetics related to these elements gradually developed, and over time, questions arose about this symbolism. Obtaining an old family meat grinder and choosing ceramics as an artistic medium revived family values. Based on concepts related to Luigi Pareyson's Aesthetics of Formativity, the search for 'forms' combining nests and eggs generated new reflections and 'memories' in ceramics, leading to the work MICROGEIA – the individual world, what each person carries with them. It also generated a work that directly engages with nests and the head, which holds memories throughout life: THE HAIR IS THE NEST OF THE HEAD, a performance motif in which I cut my hair as a sign of letting go.

Drawing from an autoethnographic approach, this artistic research explores the dynamics of concealment and visibility in these spaces, seeking to understand the aesthetic implications of their visual representation. Using scanography as a photographic apparatus/language, the project collects the material traces of these practices — such as used condoms and medication packaging — to analyze how these experiences can be translated into materiality and, consequently, aesthetic experience. Based on the concept of the abject-image coined by Matheus dos Santos (2013), this study investigates the relationships between image, desire, and fetish, revealing a tension between beauty and repulsion. It also proposes a reflection on how the abject and the residual, within the field of dissident sexuality, can emerge as subversive forms in the sensitive poetic construction of a myopic-image.
