Landfill Ballerina
A girl searching for recyclable items in a landfill in Guwahati, India. A small community
lives inside this landfill and work as a team, some barefooted, sorting through mountains
of garbage for less than $2 a day. They share this landfill with the endangered stork, the
greater adjutant, along with some cows and dogs. The garbage is stacked very high and
is very unpredictable since the ground beneath their feet can collapse at any time. The
stench and fumes from the garbage is strong and heavy with animal feces and worms
swimming everywhere in this ocean of trash. The homes in this community have no
electricity or running water, and people live in an extremely unhealthy environment, with
little to no chance of escaping.

winter months.

Grown Up Too Soon
