Despair

A mother and father have spent the day scavenging through the garbage, finding everything they can to survive on an already barren plain. But disappointment and despair are upon them. The despair of a father and mother who don't know how they're going to 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
