I am one of Borneo Indigenous Native who lost it's own Identity and I only know by the name of Murut people without understanding the language and also the tradition. With this Project, I am able to find my Identity by travelling the whole Borneo Island to document the Beauty of Landscape and also the People that the world has never seen before.

So far, I've travelled a few region in State of Sabah such as Matunggong, Kota Belud, Kota Marudu, Ranau, Inner Penampang and also Sandakan. Seeing all kind of people living in different kind of situation has opened my mind and there's more areas for me to travel. Seeing all kind of Identity with all kind of Indegenous Ethnic living in Sabah is one of a kind! Lots of people taking advantage knowing it but never try to document it's own beauty before our culture and also landscape fade. It's now or never!

In the future, I want to expand this Project to the whole Island of Borneo from my hometown all the way to Sarawak, Brunei and also Kalimantan. I believe I can search part of my Native Identity somewhere in this State/Country since Borneo Island used to be no borderland until British and Dutch Colonize Borneo Island more than 300 years ago.
