EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of women are deeply engrossed in the intricate task of mending fishing nets on the quayside of Bermeo, a picturesque fishing town located in the Basque Country of Northern Spain. The year is 1990, and the scene unfolds in the heart of the bustling harbor, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the daily fish market. The women, dressed in traditional Basque attire, work diligently to repair the worn-out nets, their faces etched with concentration and determination. Their deft hands move nimbly over the tangled ropes and knots, weaving in new fibers and securing the fraying edges. The nets, which have been battered by the relentless waves and harsh weather, are a testament to the arduous labor and resilience of the fishermen and their wives. The photograph captures a moment of quiet intensity, as the women focus on their task, oblivious to the world around them. The sun casts long shadows over the quayside, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The salty sea breeze carries the faint scent of fish and the sound of seagulls cawing in the distance. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the fishing community in Bermeo, where the work of the women is essential to the livelihoods of their husbands and families. The photograph, taken by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the sea, the land, and the people who depend on them for their survival.
