Situated on the Eastern Coast of Canada, Labrador is a collection of small islands, many of which are only accessible by a weekly boat service.

Tong spent nearly three months exploring the long coastline, its coastal towns and villages to produce a visual story that with a poetic sensibility conjures images of isolation and loneliness. This series of emotive landscapes, portraits and still lifes evoke memories of a bygone era.
