EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the rugged determination of a Tunisian fisherman from Djerba, as he goes about his daily work along the Mediterranean coast in 1987. Dressed in traditional oilskins, the man braves the elements with unwavering resilience, carrying a heavy fishing net over his shoulder. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when the simple yet hardworking lives of fishermen continued to shape the coastal communities of Tunisia. The photograph, taken in the bustling streets of Djerba, offers a glimpse into the authentic and raw beauty of this North African region. The fisherman's weathered face and intense gaze speak volumes about the challenges and rewards of his profession, making for a powerful and moving portrait. This image is a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between the sea, the people, and the land in Tunisia, and serves as a testament to the strength and perseverance of the human spirit.
