Human Blindness

These pictures were taken in Atafona, a small village in Rio de Janeiro-Brazil. The change in the interaction between the river Paraíba do Sul and the ocean, caused by the construction of a barrier, made the river loose its strength and be uncapable of pushing the ocean back. Because of the hand's man and his blindness a lot of quarters from the line of the sand were destroyed and it hasn't stopped. the sea destroyed hundred of houses and dreams. People lost their homes and now the village is becoming a ghost town. It's time to man take the blindfold from theirs eyes.
