In the vast expanse of Southeast Asia's waters, the Sea Gypsies, known as Bajau Laut, live a unique and simple life. They dwell on the sea, moving from place to place on their boats, deeply connected to the ocean that surrounds them. Their days are filled with fishing, family, and the rhythm of the tides.
Children play on the boats, learning the ways of the sea from a young age. Adults fish and gather, sharing stories and laughter under the sun. The sea provides everything they need, but it also brings challenges. Modern changes and environmental shifts threaten their traditional lifestyle, adding uncertainty to their future.
"Sea Gypsies: Floating Thoughts" is an intimate journey into this ephemeral world. Through the lens, we capture moments of joy, struggle, and serene beauty, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who call the sea their home. Each photograph is a testament to their enduring connection to the ocean—a silent conversation between man and nature, forever drifting, forever floating.
