  Alina Fedorenko, Germany

A small isolated island settlement, in the southeast of Greenland,
with a population less than 300 people. Facing isolation and
depend directly on nature through hunting and fishing, but more
on the financial support of the Danish government. As a result
people have lost putting any effort into their survival and instead
find themselves in depression and alcoholism.
Behind the village down the hill, a huge sinking mountain of trash
is leaking into the open ocean, through the years it became a
massive problem of the small isolated village without a
conceivable solution.
