Description

Drowning doll. The theme of water keeps making my mind think about where I live. I live in São Paulo, one of the biggest cities in the world, and the city has one of the most polluted rivers in the world - Tietê. I decided to make a series of ten images, that are not "beautiful" in fact but are the reality where I live, I don't intend to receive any prize with them, but I think it is important to show and ask for HELP(To our politicians and governors). I will try to bring some "artistic beauty" from the pollution, but sometimes it is not possible, it is real.

Exif: Camera: Canon Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL; Shutter Speed: 1/160; Aperture: f/9.0; ISO: 200; Orientation: 1; Date: 2020:07:04 14:25:09

I looked up this river and so sad to see its gotten in this condition. Looks like it was a beautiful river at one time. Seen pictures where it talks and shows toxic foam. I certainly hope your storytelling pictures gets noticed by the right people. Fantastic capture, Adilson. #1742474

It is so dissapointing to experience such violations on the beauty of our lonely planet, Adilson! And it seems that humans are mostly responsible for these. Your great photos are projected noticeably the pollution of the river. We hope soon the right people will react efficiently in solving this problem! You are doing great work Adilson! #11816793

Very stark and emotional piece, Adilson. Doll half under water is a dark reminder what happens to us if we stay on our same path. #11816946
