EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Holding On" transports us to the enchanting world of the Bajau Laut, also known as sea people. The portrait captures a profound moment between a young boy and a woman from this unique community in Sabah, Malaysia. With its documentary-style approach, this image is a testament to the power of photojournalism. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the raw emotions conveyed by both subjects. The boy's gaze reflects innocence yet resilience, while the woman's expression exudes strength and wisdom. Their connection is palpable as they hold on to each other amidst an uncertain backdrop. Through this photograph, Kieron Long skillfully brings attention to these marginalized communities who have lived harmoniously with nature for generations. It serves as a reminder of their rich cultural heritage that deserves recognition and preservation. As we admire this thought-provoking artwork from 1x Gallery, it becomes evident that it goes beyond mere aesthetics; it tells a story of resilience, unity, and hope against adversity. This powerful portrayal invites viewers into an unfamiliar world where children like him face challenges unimaginable to many. While appreciating this remarkable piece of artistry created by Kieron Long, let us remember its significance lies not only in its visual appeal but also in raising awareness about these extraordinary individuals who call Borneo their home.
