Nelson Silva Sousa, a native of Porto, Portugal, speaks of his photos as being
found sculptures.

The images are intended to create sculptures from elements
discarded by man. They attempt to include elements from nature as
a way of declaring the return of that object to nature. His images
contain a certain reflection about man´s behavior and the
interplay of his attitudes with nature. They are also about the
relative value of something bad enough to discard, but at same
time good enough to be the uppermost object in itself, the object
of art.

The photos intend to create a visual sentence with a certain
ecologist meaning. Finally, the images are a caricature of
mankind, after the disappearance of this mankind due to its own
nature.

Nelson is on residency at the Guesthouse in Shandon until the 30th November.
