EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lone Surfer" we witness a mesmerizing scene captured on Surfers Paradise Beach, located on the Gold Coast of Australia. The image was taken on Thursday, April 16,2020, during the height of the Coronavirus Pandemic. As all Australians were required to stay home at that time due to health measures implemented against COVID-19, individuals were only allowed outside for exercise or essential purposes. The photograph showcases a solitary surfer walking along the shoreline with an air of freedom and determination. Despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, this lone figure braves the waves and finds solace in their passion for surfing. The vastness of Surfers Paradise Beach serves as a stark reminder of how empty public spaces became during these unprecedented times. This image symbolizes not only physical exercise but also mental well-being amidst challenging circumstances. It highlights how important it is to find moments of respite and connection with nature even when faced with adversity. The concept of social distancing is subtly portrayed through this solitary surfer's presence on an otherwise deserted beach. Dave Hunt skillfully captures both the serenity and resilience embodied by this lone surfer in his remarkable photography skills. This print encapsulates a significant period in Australian history where individuals had to adapt their daily lives while still finding ways to nurture their mental health and pursue their passions within limited boundaries dictated by public health concerns surrounding COVID-19.
