Snail-like (and also at a snail’s pace), a body twists itself a roof over its head – silver-grey foil that can be made almost cylindrical, into a type of snail shell. The human animal forces and squeezes its way inside and out of the shell; and who knows where and what “home” is? We can at least imagine that Fari’s snail shell is indicative of the cardboard box that is often “home” to many in favelas on the outskirts of São Paulo.
