João Coelho

The kingdom of flies

Amidst an army of flies, a man battles for scraps in a kingdom of decay. It feels post-apocalyptic, yet "normal" life persists just beyond the toxic fumes. While one world dines in peace, the other fights a desperate war, separated by a thin veil of smoke and collective indifference.

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.
