EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Eduard Korniyenko, two men can be seen peacefully fishing in the Black Sea near the Georgian town of Gagra in the Abkhazia region. The image, taken on December 31,2005, beautifully portrays a serene moment amidst a backdrop of natural beauty and historical significance. The Abkhazia region, located in northern Georgia and bordering Russia, had experienced turmoil during the early 1990s when it declared independence from Tbilisi after a war that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. Despite its turbulent past, this photograph showcases a tranquil scene where two individuals find solace in their shared passion for fishing. The composition is striking as it juxtaposes the vastness of the sea against these two figures engrossed in their activity. Their silhouettes are accentuated by the warm glow of sunlight reflecting off the water's surface. It evokes a sense of calmness and unity with nature. Korniyenko's skillful capture not only highlights an everyday activity but also serves as a reminder that even amidst political divisions and conflicts, people still find ways to connect with one another through simple pleasures like fishing. This image invites viewers to contemplate both personal moments of tranquility and larger narratives surrounding geopolitical tensions.
