A portrait of Unti
Unti is a now 21 and a mother of two daughters. Her village is in Kampung Sungai Kejar, a community belonging to the indigenous Jahai tribe in Royal Belum Rainforest Reserve. Like other Jahai women, Unti is tasked with the usual household chores, collecting firewood and freshwater supply, while her 20 year old husband is employed with a local tour outfit. I requested for her portrait and she came complete with earrings and used lipstick to make her cheeks rosier.
