I took this picture when I was walking down the Pier in San Francisco, and a figure on a ledge caught my eye—a homeless man, huddled against the harsh concrete, half-hidden as if trying to escape notice. Nevertheless, the tiredness in his expression was evident. I was compelled to capture this moment because it conveyed how the life could be weighed down by lifeless fatigue. This is an attempt at showing the silent struggles of individuals who are often unseen, living in a world that rarely pauses to acknowledge their presence.
