Stall Debris in Kolkata
Sunlight cuts through the dust in a cramped vegetable stall in North Kolkata, illuminating a pyramid of pale green cabbages stacked on a woven jute mat. A small, scruffy terrier mixes its paws with the leafy debris near the base, sniffing a discarded outer leaf. Behind the produce, a weathered shopkeeper wipes sweat from his forehead, his arm resting near a rusted metal scale. The harsh afternoon light reflects off the smooth, waxy surfaces of the cabbage heads, against the rough, fibrous texture of the jute and the dusty, cracked plaster of the alley wall. A faded red signboard hangs above, partially obscuring the view of the busy street beyond, where the heat shimmers off the asphalt.
