He has created a powerful series of photographs showing environmental degradation in Senegal and elsewhere in the world. Combining experience from his modeling background and interest in fashion with his passion for photography, the series takes a hard look at what human-kind is doing to the planet. Titled The Prophecy, the images feature mysterious creatures made from garbage and natural materials, highlighting issues like oil pollution, air pollution, plastic pollution, and resource degradation. Monteiro worked with costume designer Doulsy and a model to create the creatures that seem to give life to the “stuff” of human-kind that is so damaging the Earth. The results are both beautiful and horrifying.
