Friends forever

A dismembered toy they luckily find at the dump is enough to make them children again. They have learned from an early age to be adults in this sad, gray world in order to survive, but they also know that they have to help each other because they are friends forever.

About Artist

João Coelho

I have always been fascinated by the human condition and its study has been a major driving force in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I want my photography to evoke feelings, emotions, and convey messages by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual aid, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future.
