How to be a real child

He was born and lives in a dump, a gloomy world where toys have to be invented with the right amount of imagination. A bike rim and a simple stick are enough to give birth to something new and exciting, reminding us that children can be children even in the worst places in the world to live

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
