the first picture is of the favelas in salvador. 70% of the population live in these usually illegal structures. they often have no sewage, electricity or running water. In Brazil, the richest 20% of society possesses 60% of the wealth while the poorest 20% has only 3% of the country's wealth. so you can only image how poor these people are. the rich take helicopters to work each day and the poor fight to feed their children. the second picture is my arm. the flowers were painted with a natural dye extracted from a plant in the amazon. it lasts about 2 weeks and is very good for your skin.
