Entre marés e resíduos: um olhar sobre o lixo nas praias

Abstract

“Entre Marés e Resíduos” is a photojournalistic production that exposes the pollution caused by beachgoers’ waste on three Brazilian beaches. With images captured on the beaches of Francês, Barra de São Miguel-AL and Ubatuba-SP, the photobook stands out with the aim of impacting the reader on the large amount of solid waste, especially plastic bags, bottles, aluminum cans and cigarettes. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief text that contextualizes the scenario and highlights the urgency of actions to end this environmental problem. In addition to seeking to raise awareness, the photobook seeks to inspire concrete actions and changes in behavior in favor of preserving the coastal ecosystem. "Entre Marés e Resíduos" is a photobook that explores the complex relationship between human beings, the coastal environment and the solid waste that impacts marine landscapes. Through a sensitive and reflective visual narrative, the work documents the presence of waste on beaches, revealing how trash transforms these spaces and dialogues with the life that persists there. With a documentary and poetic approach, the photobook seeks to raise awareness among readers about the urgency of environmental preservation and the need for sustainable practices that respect the tides. The images capture both the beauty of the landscapes and the impact of human neglect, proposing a reflection on the shared responsibility for protecting our ecosystem. This visual project was conceived to provoke a discussion about current environmental challenges, especially with regard to the proper management and disposal of waste, and is also a tribute to the resilience of nature.
