From the slums of Jakarta to Australia’s rural backyard, this collection of photographs bears witness to the struggles and emotional connections of families living at the margins of society.

Whether caught in the cycle of drug addiction or welfare dependency, people have let Tombola into their own world, allowing him to provide an intimate and honest look at the subtlety and complexity of human emotion.Without prejudice and constantly questioning stereotypes, Tombola has found intimacy and respect in unexpected places and created visual narratives that contributed in breaking down all borders.
