my art creations




this is an image i created using 2 images from Salgado's eploration in the brazialian gold mines. i became interested in this after exploring brazil in google maps for a previous weeks blog. the first image i used is of the camping grounds which is mountain and mountains of people crammed on the slopes of the hills... and the second image is a close up portrait of a lady living within the poverty of these goldmines which feel more like dantes inferno leading down into the deeper circles of hell

i combined the two images to express what it must be like living under these hardships in the goldmines, the first one being a wide angle shot and the second that was overlayed was a close up shot of a womans face.

This is the first image of the camping grounds for the miners

This is the close up portrait of a woman living within this mine
