Pantanal

The Pantanal, in the heart of Brazil, is a giant seasonal floodplain and the world’s largest tropical wetland It is one of the world’s most pristine areas and a biodiversity hotspot full of life. Yet it is under threat. Drought and fires caused by climate change have a huge impact on this area. This series does not aim to document these changes directly or provide clear evidence of environmental damage, it focuses on conveying a sense of instability and uncertainty. This visual ambiguity reflects the changing conditions of the Pantanal itself, an ecosystem where water levels fluctuate more extremely, habitats shift, and the balance between presence and absence becomes increasingly fragile. What remains is not a definitive image of place, but an impression, something sensed rather than fully grasped, echoing an environment whose boundaries, rhythms, and future are increasingly difficult to hold.
