EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Outrigger" transports us to the enchanting waters of Sabah, Malaysia. In this mesmerizing portrait captured by Kieron Long, we are introduced to a group of Bajau Laut sea people navigating their traditional canoe with utmost grace. The image showcases a young boy, his face filled with curiosity and wonderment as he takes part in this timeless maritime tradition. Surrounding him are other children who share the same sense of adventure and connection to the sea. Their youthful energy is palpable against the backdrop of the vast Celebes Sea. Long's expert use of monochrome adds depth and texture to this documentary-style photograph, emphasizing every line etched on weathered faces and highlighting each ripple in the water beneath them. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on these remarkable individuals who have mastered their craft through generations. As we gaze at this striking composition, we can almost feel the gentle sway of their outrigger sailboat gliding across the ocean's surface. The oars they hold symbolize not just tools for propulsion but also a profound connection between these people and their ancestral roots. Through his lens, Long captures more than just an ordinary scene; he encapsulates a way of life that has endured for centuries amidst changing tides. This photojournalistic masterpiece serves as both an homage to these resilient sea people and an invitation for viewers like us to appreciate their unique culture. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within our own homes, "Outrigger" invites us into a world where land meets sea—a world where simplicity intertwines with grandeur—and reminds us that there is beauty in preserving traditions even as time sails forward.
