In the heart of Shan State, the Intha fishermen of Inle Lake embody a unique ancestral craft passed down through generations. Their distinctive technique — rowing while standing on one leg at the stern of their longboats — has become one of Myanmar’s most iconic cultural symbols.
As the region faces the aftermath of a recent earthquake, these images stand as a tribute to the resilience of a people deeply connected to their land and waters.
In solidarity with those in Inle Lake and beyond, facing these difficult days with strength and dignity.
