EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by larigan - Patricia Hamilton captures the haunting beauty of abandoned jetties in Siglufjordur, Iceland. These rotting wooden structures serve as a poignant reminder of the once-thriving herring industry that met its demise in the late 1950s. Set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and nestled within a picturesque fjord, these decaying jetties tell a story of a bygone era. The remnants of this fishing industry stand as silent witnesses to the bustling activity that once took place here. The image showcases the stark contrast between man-made structures and untouched nature. The weathered wood material stands out against the pristine white snow, creating an intriguing visual juxtaposition. It is as if time has frozen in this valley, preserving both the decay and natural splendor for all to see. Through this photograph, we are invited to reflect on the transience of human endeavors and our impact on nature's delicate balance. It serves as a testament to how industries rise and fall while leaving behind traces of their existence. With no people present in the frame, we are left with only our imagination to fill in the gaps and ponder what life was like during Siglufjordur's herring heyday. This evocative piece not only celebrates Icelandic culture but also prompts us to appreciate both the resilience and fragility found within our surroundings.
