Children of a forgotten world

They were born and live in a dump, they know nothing but a gray world filled with flies. Their vacant, sad eyes show that they are no longer real children. Their world has 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
