The Ebb and Flow of Life in Coastal Indonesia

The Ebb and Flow of Life in Coastal Indonesia



Lulu’s
work has a distinct aesthetic and a dreamlike quality,
with a naturalism in her close observations of subjects and
environments. Lulu’s photography is about people – about feelings,
connections and stories. She loves working with her subjects to
create visual narratives that are both emotive and authentic. The
series Ebb and Flow is about a small, remote community living on
the coast of Sumbawa, Indonesia. They live and work in harmony with
the ebb and flow of the tide. At low tide they harvest seaweed,
bringing it to the shore on rafts, and fish for their food in rock
pools. At high tide they dry the seaweed out in the sunshine, then
bag it up to sell to the food and cosmetics industries. The boys
surf until the tide drops below the reef and the cycle starts
again.
