EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the 1990s, we see a group of Sri Lankan pole fishermen, also known as stilt fishermen, silhouetted against the early morning dawn at Galle, Sri Lanka. The fishermen are perched precariously on stilts, balanced on the shallow waters of the coast, as they wait for the perfect moment to cast their nets and catch their daily supply of fish. At the heart of the scene is a man named Poda. His focused expression and still posture belie the patience and skill required to master this traditional fishing technique. The tranquil scene is in stark contrast to the devastating events that would unfold just ten years later, in 2004, when a tsunami struck the coast of Sri Lanka, claiming the lives of countless fishermen, including Poda and his family, who were unable to escape the devastating waves. The photograph captures the essence of the daily life of these coastal communities, where the sea provides not only a livelihood but also a connection to the natural world. The simple tools of their trade - the poles, nets, and the sea itself - are the only means by which they can earn a living and support their families. The scene is one of hard work, determination, and the unwavering faith that the sea will provide. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of these communities, who continue to face the challenges of the sea with courage and determination.
