Tapajos Treasures

In transparent waters, the gold’s reflection  – In the words of the photographer Joice Kreiss, “It is not necessary to find nuggets to be sure that you are looking at gold in the Tapajós River. The gems may not have the values of the real metal but they`ve got the value of a dream reflected.” Photo: Joyce Kreiss

Photographer Joice Kreiss writes: “On the banks of the Tapajós River, we can collect small finds that become treasures when we start to observe and imagine the path of these items until they reach the margin of the river.” Photo: Joyce Kreiss
