Strong yet delicate, a fisherwoman’s hands skillfully weave and mend a fishing net, preparing for another day at sea. The net’s fibers, worn by salt and time, are handled with precision—an art passed down through generations of Newfoundland’s coastal women. In the background, a wooden dory waits at the dock, a silent witness to the stories carried by the tide. This powerful piece honors the often-overlooked role of women in the fishing industry, where their labor on shore has been just as vital as the work at sea.
