Honorable Mention
Word´s can kill
DESCRIPTION
The image features a hand grenade made of orange keyboard keys, some of which spell out "WORDS CAN KILL". Set against a soft green background, the piece delivers a message as a metaphor about the impact of language. It suggests that words, especially in the digital age, can be as harmful as weapons. The composition and symbolic fusion of technology and violence urge viewers to reflect on the consequences of their speech and the responsibility that comes with communication, both online and offline. Created with keyboard keys and plastic piece of toy grenade. AUTHOR
My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 39 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.
