Too soon

They're still children, but they have to play the role of mothers and fathers, looking after their younger siblings while their parents work. Their mothers and fathers have been through this too. But the vacant, sad looks on their faces show that they've become adults too soon

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.
