EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of the People of the Sea, also known as the Bajau Laut, in Sabah, Malaysia. The portrait features an old woman who exudes wisdom and resilience, embodying the spirit of her community. Beside her stands a young boy and girl, representing the future generation of this sea-faring people.
The image is a powerful testament to the unique way of life led by these individuals, who have lived on boats for generations and rely on the ocean for their livelihood. The canoes and boats in the background serve as a reminder of their deep connection to the water that surrounds them.
Through this documentary-style photograph, photographer Kieron Long brings attention to a marginalized group whose way of life is threatened by modernization and environmental challenges. The expressions on their faces tell stories of struggle and strength, creating a sense of empathy in viewers.
As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural diversity and protecting our oceans. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite our differences, we are all interconnected by our shared humanity. This print is not just a work of art but a call to action to support communities like the People of the Sea in their fight for survival.
