I was inspired to write “Nomads – Life on the Move” during a journey to the heart of the Sahara Desert. It seemed no matter how deep into the desert we drove, there were groups of people herding animals and carrying water to temporary accommodation that was far off the electrical grid. I am a seasoned traveller – I have moved country and house more times than I can count, but this was a different league altogether. The more I thought about it, the more it made me question; what makes a home, and how have our lives become so reliant on objects and walls, and so separated from the realities of weather and nature. This project explores different ways of living, that maybe we need now more than ever. It looks at seven nomadic cultures today; from the Nenets of Siberia to the Yanomami of the Amazon rainforest. Their lifestyles and traditions offer a window on a simpler way of living; one that can connect us with ancient human history and with this planet that we all call home.
