The images of a Finder window showing a file system are a bit confusing. Are you getting that window in recovery mode? I didn't think that was possible/available.
Regardless the "Mac OS Base System" is the system that the Mac is booted from in Recovery mode, I believe. And you can't do anything with it, that is intentional, from Apple.
The fact that your HD is not visible indicates to me that your HD/SSD has died (Bereft of life, it rests in peace... [sorry]). It is likely that you need a new hd/ssd. It is possible, but not real likely, that something else (cable, connector, system board) is at fault but Mr. Occam and his Razor suggest that it's a bad drive and need to be replaced.
Time to take it in for diagnosis and repair.
