“Zoowaste” Bangladesh
This project documents one of the many garbage dumps in Bangladesh — places where daily life blends with the struggle for survival. We see people and animals coexisting among waste, tropical vegetation fading in the background, and mountains of plastic that seem endless. The photographs reveal the harsh aesthetics of degradation, but also the quiet presence of those trying to recover something — from the ground, from materials, from themselves. It is the landscape of the modern world, seen from below.
