plate, a fish or a heart: all filled with plastic, to remind us that we are eating it.Simplicity is the key to this series, betting on the simple and appealing. Use simple materials and, with these materials, create images, also simple, but that leave us thinking. This is what happens when we see a fish pouring pieces of plastic, a plate of spaghetti that is not, or a fried egg made of lids. Everything addresses the same idea: the ingestion of plastic micro-particles that are already part of the diet of animals and humans.

My name is Antonio Coelho. I am from Portugal. I am a self-taught Portuguese photographer. My journey began with analog photography in 2010, and in 2015 I bought my first DSLR. My first photography award was in 2017, in a lomography competition during the process of learning to take photo with analog films. The styles I practice most are still life, conceptual photography, advertising, architecture, and nature.
