Fishing Net

About the artwork

Our tribal community is fearless as they navigate their natural surroundings, foraging for food from the environment. They also venture into the water, engaging in fishing and using nets to meet their food requirements.
The scene depicts the rhythm of village life, with a fisherman casting a large net into the river, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The figures, rendered in simple geometric shapes, celebrate the interconnectedness of humans with nature. The fisherman symbolizes sustenance and the flow of life, while the river teems with fish, representing abundance.
Each detail, from the trees and birds to the people engaged in everyday activities, reflects harmony with the environment. The use of only two colors—white for the figures and lines, and red-brown for the background, conveys the essence of simplicity. The symmetry and repetition of patterns in the net mirror the cyclical nature of life. The image exudes balance, unity, and respect for nature, encapsulating the Warli worldview that everything in the ecosystem is interconnected.
