EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1994, a group of Sri Lankan fishermen are seen working together to haul their net ashore on the picturesque beach of Galle. The sun-kissed sand, dotted with the shadows of palm trees, adds to the idyllic scene as the men, with determined expressions on their faces, pull and heave the heavy net towards them. The water's edge is where another team is launching their wooden fishing boat, its outrigger balanced precariously on the waves. The image captures the raw strength and teamwork required for a livelihood that has been passed down through generations in this coastal community. The fishermen of Sri Lanka have long relied on the sea for their sustenance, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives. The 1990s were a significant period for Sri Lanka, marked by political turmoil and economic challenges, yet the resilient spirit of its people, as depicted in this image, remained unbroken. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the simple joys and hardships of rural life, and the enduring bond between the people and the sea.
