Outside the frame, but here the sound falls away. What remains is the slow breath of heat, a quiet room, a woman standing in her own light. A house of weathered walls, tin roofs, stacked clothes, plastic chairs, and flowering plants that grow wherever they can. These homes breathe with the same patience as their owners. They are the first face of the story. A life before nightfall.

​

Inside, light settles on skin and fabric. A fan turns. The air holds stillness and exhaustion, longing and routine. She looks at the lens with an expression that cannot be named, something between endurance and arrival. There is no pose, only presence. A room becomes a memory the moment one looks at it.

​

Then the street. The city’s warm electric glow. Colours that lick the pavement. Music drifting from somewhere unseen. Her body becomes a silhouette of survival and desire of work and waiting of being seen and unseen at once. She stands in the open where the night never ends.
