Living on the Water No.2 (2023) Photograph by Serge Horta

Bajau tribe stilt house.

Location: Celebes Sea
Year: 2023

For more than 10 years, I’ve been documenting communities who live on the water.
After years of research, I was able to travel to the region and photograph the elusive Bajau Laut tribe (Sea Gypsies) who live in stilt houses precariously built on shallow reefs around the Celebes and Sulu seas.
Some intriguing facts about the Bajau; they are not recognised by any country; they don't have access to education or health care; they mainly drink coconut water or the sporadic rainwater; when dive-fishing, they can hold their breath underwater for more than 10 minutes.

This print is produced using archival inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a gallery-standard paper 100% cotton, which is one of the world's most popular papers. Hahnemühle has been making high-quality art papers for centuries, and photographers love it for its quality and archival longevity.
The result is a luxurious print with a soft matte texture and exceptional detail. The colours of this stunning fine art print will look just as vibrant as the original, even after 100 years.

Part of a limited edition of 25 Giclée prints, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed and numbered, ensuring its uniqueness and collectible value.

The artwork includes a white border, making it easy to frame and display. Ships in a protective tube, carefully protected with acid-free paper, ensuring it reaches you in pristine condition.

Don't hesitate to drop me a message if you have any questions about the artwork, or if you would like a different size or prefer a canvas print.
