Another day spent at the dump where they live and work, scavenging the spoils of others to survive. Pieces of metal, cans, bottles, and even food scraps, everything is carefully collected to sell or eat. But the garbage is not always kind to them, sometimes the city leaves them almost nothing. It is at the end of the afternoon, after they have worked hard scavenging through the piles dumped by the garbage trucks, that disappointment and despair overwhelms them. The despair of a mother and father who don't know how they will feed their child
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.
