Love and despair - A tale of resilience
They are men, women and children like us, but they belong to a world where every day they fight the battle for survival in a dump. But even in the harsh conditions in which they live and work, they show how there is always a place and a time for love, and how despair has to be a vain word

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
