HUMAN EVIDENCE — Sikkim, 2025

Waiting #4

Sourish Mukherjee
Silver gelatin fibre print from an original 120 negative

Edition 1/3 · AvailableEdition 1/3: US$1,500

A woman stands beside a window in a cold wooden room in Lachung. Nothing dramatic occurs. That absence is the subject: cloud, grain and early light hold the room between expectation and stillness.

Why ZINE preserved it

Captured around 8 AM at Apple Valley Stay in natural window light, the image was conceived around a simple feeling: a woman waiting for someone in the early morning. Human experience is not always an event. Sometimes it is simply waiting.
