Children of a forgotten world

They are children like all the others, but these seem to have been predestined to a cruel and unjust fate. They were born and live in a dump. The vacant, sad look in their eyes shows that they are no longer real children and that their world seems to have been forgotten by all of us

About Artist

João Coelho

Human condition has always fascinated me and its study has been a main driver in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I intend my photography to arouse feelings, emotions, and convey messages, by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual help, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future
