Daniel Jack Lyons worked in the Brazilian Amazon over a period of three years. His intimate and sensitive photographs focus on the youth and queer community within a region that has received a lot of media attention, but mainly due to the deforestation of the rainforest and the discrimination against the indigenous population. Lyons paints a portrait of a marginalized group exploring their identity between indigenous tradition and coming of age. They seem to maintain a close, harmonious relationship with the surrounding nature as a matter of course. The work of the artist, who is active in various humanitarian projects worldwide, focuses primarily on strengthening communities. In this environment, photography can serve as an identity-forming tool that sets collective processes in motion.
