Local Fishing

Artist: Thokozani Mphonde

Medium: Photography

Artist Statement: In Malawi, Africa, we can see the local fishing process. Observe locals dragging in their lake net. It was cast in the early hours of the morning and is now brought back, in late afternoon. They separate the fish into different kinds, clean it & set it out to dry or take them to the marketplace to be sold.
