The kingdom of flies
Indifferent to an army enraged by the invasion of his territory, this man competes with flies for scraps of food. It sounds like a post-apocalyptic scenario, but this is the real life of many who survive every day on what others throw away and who have no idea that this kingdom of flies exists.

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
