Too soon
Madalena is still a child, but she has to look after her little sister while her parents work. It's always been like this, her mother and grandmother also had to suffer the same fate of being premature mothers. But her gaze, vacant and sad, doesn't lie! It was too soon!

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
