Video and Stills by Olivia Zimmerman

"Mythic Creatures" is an immersive exploration of the enchanting folklore surrounding the Amazon River's pink dolphins, or “botos”, viewed through the unique lens of twins Maria Helena and Maria Eduarda. The twins’ perspective offers a personal connection, revealing insights into the evolving attitudes of the younger generation toward traditional myths and environmental conservation in the rich cultural tapestry of the Amazon. Against the backdrop of the lush Amazon setting, the project, reminiscent of literary works by Garcia Marquez and Jorge Amado, aims to illuminate the playful behavior and unique characteristics of the pink dolphins while emphasizing their profound impact on the communities they inhabit. This multifaceted project weaves together a compelling narrative of cultural myths, environmental conservation, and the delicate symbiosis between human interaction and the preservation of the Amazon's biodiversity, urging collective efforts to protect this unique and fragile ecosystem.
