Malaysia,
between places.
A photographic journey from city streets to island water and the mountains of Malaysian Borneo.
Begin the journey
At street level.
A skyline tells you where you are. A street tells you how a place moves. Start with a shaded walkway, a stall, a parcel of rice.
The everyday,
in focus.

Land meets water.
Off Kedah’s northwestern coast, Langkawi brings limestone, forest and tidal water into the same frame.
Across to Borneo.
Sabah is a state on northern Borneo, across the South China Sea from the peninsula. Here, a mountain and a forest stream change the scale of looking.
The view opens out.
Then it comes close again.
Find your own pace.
Four places, four independent portraits. Choose a preview, then follow the place that holds your attention.
A city read at two heights.
Glass and steel above; counters and conversations below. Follow the city from its skyline to Petaling Street.
