EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Barritt captures the essence of traditional fishing in Weligama, a serene coastal town on the South Coast of Sri Lanka. Against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset, a skilled stilt fisherman defies gravity as he balances mid-air on his wooden stilts. Silhouetted against the vibrant colors of the sky and sea, this image exudes tranquility and serenity. The photograph showcases the resourcefulness and ingenuity of these fishermen who have mastered this unique fishing technique passed down through generations. With their fishing rods poised skillfully above the water, they patiently await their catch while maintaining perfect balance on their precarious perches. The scene is filled with symbolism as it represents not only an age-old tradition but also reflects upon Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage. The stereotypical image of an Asian fisherman is beautifully portrayed here, highlighting both the beauty and resilience found within traditional Asian cultures. Barritt's photography skillfully captures every detail - from the gentle waves crashing against the stilts to the warm orange hues that envelop everything in sight. This stunning vertical composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in this idyllic travel destination where time seems to stand still. In summary, Barritt's print encapsulates all that is enchanting about Weligama: its picturesque coastline, its traditional culture, and its tranquil way of life.
