Amor

Taken in Timor Leste. Banda sea. Pacific.

The Timorese fisherman David wakes up before dawn and slowly, silently hunts at a reef near his home using his traditional and hand carved bow and arrow. The sun was beginning to rise. The golden light gently caressed his strong spine as he carried indigenous cultures into our fast modern world.

This image captures a deep rooted dedication and appreciation for the natural world. Through its simplicity and the composition of negative space it becomes timeless elegance. Turning beautiful craftsmanship and a daily practice to survive into fine art.
