EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by CM Dixon showcases the Tea Plantation and Factory located in the scenic hills of Nuwara Eliya, Central Sri Lanka during the 20th century. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this local industry that has been a significant source of trade for Sri Lanka. Tea production plays a vital role in the country's economy, employing more than one million people directly or indirectly. Remarkably, Sri Lanka stands as the world's fourth-largest producer of tea. However, behind this picturesque landscape lies a harsh reality - a caste system that perpetuates extreme poverty among tea pickers. The image portrays an idyllic rural setting with lush green plantations stretching across rolling hillside terrain. The factory building stands tall amidst nature's splendor, symbolizing human intervention within this rustic landscape. It serves as a reminder of how agriculture and industry coexist harmoniously in this part of the country. CM Dixon skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a deeper message about life in these tea plantations. This photograph invites contemplation on social inequality and economic disparity that persist despite such breathtaking surroundings. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us reflect upon both its aesthetic appeal and its ability to shed light on important societal issues faced by those who contribute to our daily cuppa – reminding us to appreciate their labor while striving for fairer conditions within this cherished trade.
