As a young person living and working in Aceh, I see the ecological crisis not as something distant, but as something increasingly present in everyday life. Through my work as a documentary photographer, I meet farmers and communities directly affected by climate change—from changing rainfall patterns and declining coffee production to floods and landslides that disrupt their lives. I hope we can change the way we treat nature and build a more balanced relationship with it, while ensuring that communities who depend on the land are not left behind. I fear that environmental damage will become increasingly difficult to reverse, and that future generations will bear the consequences of decisions made today. From policymakers, I hope for policies that genuinely prioritize the environment and local communities over short-term economic interests. The voices of farmers and communities living closest to nature must be heard in decision-making. As an individual, I contribute through my photography by documenting environmental changes and their impact on people’s lives. I try not only to show environmental damage, but also people’s relationship with the land, their losses, resilience, and hopes. For me, art can make a large and abstract issue feel closer and more human. Photography can amplify voices that are often overlooked, create conversations, and remind us that the ecological crisis is not only about a changing environment, but about human lives changing with it.
