The Lagoon, the Islands and the Sea
by Deshan Tennekoon and Devaka Seneviratne

A presentation of photographs from a vanishing world. The lives centered on the lagoon and the many marine species of the area are special to the Kalpitiya peninsula. The advent of the Kalpitiya development plan, the impending construction of countless hotels, an airstrip and underwater parks will change irrevocably, these unique natural spaces. This is an attempt to document the rare beauty of an environment and a way of life, while they still exist.
