LIFE ON WATER - Photographs and Video by Malin Fezehai

 As the global population approaches 9 billion and climate change accelerates rising sea levels, governments are being pushed to explore new ways of living. An estimated 800 million people in 570 cities worldwide may face relocation by 2050. Sea walls remain the primary line of defense, but the conversation is  shifting toward adaptation: learning to live on water rather than moving entire populations away from it.

Photographer Malin Fezehai began with a single question: Is it possible to live on water? She followed that question to communities in Benin, Bangladesh, Peru, and the Netherlands, where water shapes daily life, culture, and survival.
