EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, we meet Poda, a Sri Lankan pole fisherman from the coastal town of Galle. The photograph, taken in the 1990s, captures the introspective gaze of this enigmatic figure, his turbaned head framed against the backdrop of the azure Indian Ocean. With his unshaven face, moustache, and weathered features, Poda exudes an air of quiet determination and resilience. At the time this image was captured, Poda and his family were likely living a simple yet sustainable existence, relying on their traditional fishing methods to provide for their community. However, their lives were forever changed by the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. Tragically, Poda, his family, and countless others lost their lives in the catastrophic event, leaving behind a poignant reminder of the fragility of human existence in the face of nature's wrath. Despite the heartbreaking circumstances that followed this photograph, it remains a powerful testament to the character and spirit of the Sri Lankan people. Poda's unwavering focus and the serene beauty of the scene serve as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience that continues to thrive in the region. This image, with its timeless quality and evocative storytelling, invites us to reflect on the human condition and the enduring power of the natural world.
