These photographs capture a timeless coastal ritual: Cypriot fishermen returning from their dawn trawl, their small wooden boats bobbing gently in the harbour. The brilliant Mediterranean light glints off the calm waters, illuminating weathered faces marked by salt and sun. There is a sense of community in their gathering as these men clean the catch together—sea bream, octopus, and mullet. A lone cat waits patiently for scraps. The atmosphere is a blend of quiet pride and enduring tradition, a glimpse into a way of life passed down through generations on the island’s rugged shores.
