When the water goes down...

Listening many people who lost everything in Brazil's greatest environmental tragedy (which occurred in May when the state of Rio Grande do Sul had 90% of its cities flooded), one expression struck me: "when the water goes down". Then I went to find the only silence I know, the silence of images.

About Artist

Fabrício Simões

"Fabricio Simões is one of the few Brazilian photographers who has developed his own minimalist aesthetic in B&W. His work mixes characteristics of classic 20th century photography with an approach to medium format capture and post-production in digital software. In a world full of information and distractions, the photographer proposes in his landscapes, objects, portraits, nudes, a visual clarity, a connection with what is essential, a deepening of the artistic experience and our vision of everything that exists".
