The oceans represent the element responsible for producing 50% of the oxygen we breathe. Today they are polluted, there are microplastics, floating islands of the same, changes in pH and temperature, associated with global warming, and there are floating islands of plastic, which directly affect habitats and human beings themselves. If nothing is done we will be on a path of no return. The series really is a reminder of these and other problems.

My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 43 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. A taste for painting was evident in me early on, but it was only in 2010 after a trip to Cuba that I became interested in photography, having captured a lot of images. However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
