Stake attention in this memory
An open spiral-bound sketchbook rests on a textured, striped fabric surface, likely a bed or blanket. The image is captured from an overhead perspective, showcasing the contents of the two open pages. The left page is dedicated to design concepts and sketches related to "The Birds." At the top left, a light pencil sketch depicts a figure, possibly female and winged, looking upwards. Beside this sketch, handwritten notes in Portuguese read: "Pássaro:" (Bird:), "Filo-filo," "Pardinho transparente" (Transparent sparrow), and an arrow points to "Pássaro grande (Com gosto de mulher) (no intento)" (Large bird (with a taste of woman) (with intention)). Below this, two smaller square thumbnail sketches explore different layouts for "THE BIRDS" text, one featuring a diagonal line across the bird shape. Dominating the bottom left of the page is a larger, stylized drawing of a bird with long, pointed wings and a slender beak, colored in shades of brown marker. Overlaying parts of the bird are darker blue or black lines. To the side of this bird, the text "MOTHER (MOTOR)" is visible. A small shaded rectangle also appears near the bottom. The right page is titled "Figura Humana" (Human Figure) and features two stylized black-and-white ink drawings of a woman's head. The upper drawing shows a woman with short, curly hair, looking downwards with a melancholic or contemplative expression. Accompanying Portuguese text provides a description: "Personagem mulher com aparência melancólica para expressar a ideia de dor e desespero interior." (Female character with a melancholic appearance to express the idea of inner pain and despair.) Below this, it continues: "Olhos fechados para apresentar, a mente, a reflexão da dor e sofrimento." (Closed eyes to present, the mind, the reflection of pain and suffering.) The lower drawing depicts the same woman but with her mouth wide open in a scream or cry of distress, and her eyes wide open. The text below this sketch further explains: "Nesta abordagem o sentimento de desespero e angústia já seria apresentada como expressões de gritos e a fixação do olhar." (In this approach, the feeling of despair and anguish would already be presented as expressions of screams and the fixation of the gaze.) In the upper right corner of this page, some faint handwritten text includes "mais b" and "Sintetização" (Synthetization). To the left of the notebook, a bright blue light emanates from a partially visible electronic screen, likely a tablet or smartphone. To the right, the corner of a white phone case adorned with a black and orange cat sticker can be seen. At the bottom of the frame, a dark blue fabric, possibly an article of clothing like a sleeve or pant leg, is visible. The overall scene suggests an artist or designer's workspace, documenting creative ideas and character studies.
