Despair

Another day spent at the dump where they live and work, scavenging the spoils of others to survive. It is in the evening that disappointment and despair overwhelm them. The despair of a mother and a father who do not know how they will feed their child.

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
