The Britain-based award-winning lensman says the exhibition is a celebration of the culture, spirit and determination of the displaced youth of Semporna.

"The struggles faced by stateless communities have long been a concern to me, and I felt that reading about them in newspapers wasn't enough. I wanted to understand the situation on the ground.
