About the Artwork
Captured in early 20th-century Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), this photograph offers a rare and candid view into the everyday labor of rubber plantation workers. Each figure holds a quiet dignity—some balancing heavy latex vessels atop their heads, others preparing tools or looking directly at the camera. Surrounded by trees and red soil, the group appears both grounded and burdened by their task. This image is more than documentation; it’s a visual meditation on colonial labor, endurance, and the human imprint on economic landscapes.
