Suman KrishnaTHE WAITING
Updated: Mar 11
The waiting This one has been inspired by the 2017 film A Ghost Story. And this photo series is my interpretation. The Waiting depicting the endless waiting of the soul before getting salvation.
It’s not all over yet. Not until I say it is. I still have my faith. I was afraid of it all my life, but it arrived, nonetheless. Now, I fear it no more for it has come as a liberator.
I stand there with an empty gaze. Motionless and patient. Time slips away like sand in my hand. It feels like an eternity. I watch, as days go by ignoring me and my existence.
I try to remember an old song. But my memory fails me. I loved it when I was a child, I wish I could sing it again. It will eventually come back: now I have all the time.
These faces look familiar Do they know me too? I have tried to ask them for their names but as always, they are too busy to listen or even look at me. I don’t remember, where I was before I came here. I was on my way to meet someone. I had a promise to keep. Someone just had told me their secret. I don’t remember that anyway. How did I even come here?
I was told to wait here. Someone is supposed to join me anytime now. They will take me to a place I was told would be my destination. Well, it’s been a while. There is a crowd moving around but not a single step towards me I have lost count of hours, or it could be days, years...I am not sure anymore I have been standing, watching, waiting.
I think I should walk away now but which way was it? The directions look so different now. I have been waiting here for so long I forgot which way I came from. Did I lose my way? Was I standing on a wrong spot? Is someone else waiting for me in a different place? wait...I hear a voice calling
