In the artist’s own words: “In Senya of Ghana, Africa, after a hard day of fishing, fishermen are pulling on their tiny fishing boat, fighting the ocean one last time for their precious “spoils of war.” I took this photo because I was really moved when I witnessed it happening. The strong wind, the large waves and the cohesive effort people are making towards the same goal made it an unforgettable moment.”
