To work with images is to deal with the primary language of the psyche. Between May 2021 and February 2022, Medical professors were interviewed online. They evoked representative images of the pandemic period and told a story about the pandemic through metaphorical images and memory recreations. The interviews were analyzed by Content Analysis, in a phenomenological approach, seen as metaphors of the time lived by the participants. Twenty-eight professors participated, giving rise to five categories, with images of fear, suffering, hope, nature and learning. The discussion about the pandemic was expanded, anchored in archetypal psychology, proposing another place to think and dialog with health and illness, with life and death, with the uncertainty that permeates the world.
