Absence and presence of toxicity

The caption builds nicely on the thoughts of the fisherman -- imagining how the place changed with the presence of a toxic facility. His statement gets at the heart of what we are trying to do in our own project, asking how a place becomes toxic, through which kind of dynamics. The image of the men at work contrasts slightly with the longer caption that describes how fishermen sit and reflect on their surroundings, providing the ethnographer with commentary. The daydreaming of a toxic-free place creates a nostalgic sentiment.
