Ballot Envelope Towers on Delhi City Hall Steps

by Santiago White

Cool blue twilight washes the stone steps of a Delhi municipal building as rain begins to fall. Piles of white ballot envelopes rise in precarious, leaning towers against the darkening sky. Fluorescent overhead lights cast a harsh, artificial glow that reflects off the wet paper surfaces and slick stone. Droplets bead on the edges of the stacks, blurring the printed text on the closest envelopes. The city lights of India flicker in the background, creating a distant, warm haze that contrasts with the cold, damp foreground. Water runs down the steps, collecting in shallow pools around the base of the paper structures. One envelope at the top of the nearest pile tilts precariously, its corner catching the light before it slips into the shadow of the rain.
