Back to collection Phil Borges Spirit of Place Collection - Philippines
|
Opisat, 45
Busuanga, Philippines Opista spends most of the day fishing for her Tagbanua "family", and at night, she cooks and sings. Since the Tagbanua's subsistence life demands group-oriented behavior, work and food sharing cooperatives are forged among small groups rather than nuclear families. I spent the evening with Opista and her people, listening to her unusually beautiful voice. When I asked her about their fishing rights she told me "we don't own this territory -we just belong to it." (Tagbanua) Collection: Spirit of Place - Philippines Artist: Photographer Phil Borges Medium: black and white fine art photography collection Finish: Framed These beautiful black and white fine art photography of people portrait of indigenous cultures are the trademark of humanitarian photographer Phil Borges.
