Two stray cats sit patiently near a fish stall in a market place, their eyes fixed on the counter above. They cannot see the fish, but the scent tells them it’s there. Among the busy chatter of customers and the rough floor beneath, they wait quietly—hoping for a scrap, a gesture, a moment of kindness. "The Wait" captures silent longing in an everyday corner of life. The photo was taken in Kolkata, India.
