EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unique charm of Borkum, a picturesque fishing village located in Germany's Lower Saxony region. The focal point of the image is an extraordinary garden fence constructed entirely from whale bones, showcasing the island's deep connection to its maritime heritage. The weathered and aged appearance of the fence adds character and tells stories of bygone eras. The horizontal composition allows for a clear view of this remarkable structure against a backdrop of blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Shadows cast by the fence create intriguing patterns on the ground, adding depth to the scene. With no people in sight, one can imagine strolling through this domestic garden surrounded by nature's remnants. The use of animal bones as part of everyday life highlights both resourcefulness and reverence for marine life that has long sustained these coastal communities. Adam Hajder skillfully captures not only a physical representation but also an emotional connection between Borkum's residents and their surroundings. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, traditions rooted in history continue to shape our present-day lives.
