A compilation of still life photographs representing life and the human mind. The photographs are from different periods from Márcio Faustino (Santos) life, divided in the book in 5 parts. Flowers represent feelings, bottles represent the human body, food represents wealth and material wishes while masks represent what we show to others, to ourselves and what we hide. These photos are inspired by the metaphysics view of human behavior and relation to each other. All the images were originally made with film negatives and hand crafted by the photographer himself. Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide. Perhaps we see ourselves as in a bag of skin, as if our body were distinct from our mind and not part of it, in order to hide; As a defensive behaviour and a way of concealing intentions and thoughts. Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides. So we are anxious to communicate and express ourselves to others, because we can only know and picture ourselves in society in relation to others. People hide and withdraw into its shell until the sudden outburst of one who has long been silent.
