The wheel game

An old motorcycle tire and a stick is all they need to invent a game around the campfire and pull out few moments of joy on this plain, made of dry land, dust, and heat, and where the fragile huts that sprinkle the horizon denounce another game that is played here every day: the survival game

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
