Info After two seemingly endless days journeying from Brazil to Canada, with a 15-hour layover in Panama that felt as if it had stolen years from my life, I found myself trapped in the cold, gray disembarkation area of Montreal Airport (YUL). Looming before me was an agonizing 11-hour wait for my bus to Montreal, only to then board another bound for Quebec City. From there, a final desperate trip on the sterile public transit system might, with any luck, deliver me home by the fading light of 6pm. Reflecting upon that eternal limbo of 11 hours at YUL, an overwhelming fatigue consumed me, a blend of weariness that went beyond the physical and a spiraling despair over the cursed bus delay. I felt so hollow, so extinguished, that I didn't even possess the strength to lift my camera and capture a memory. Yet, amidst the fog of my desolation, a scene broke through my ennui. A man, lost on a Bell Canada payphone, his legs crossed as though trying to hold the weight of the world, and arms dancing in gestures of disbelief as he gazed outward, surrounded by a sea of luggage that seemed to mirror the burdens of the soul. In that moment, in his solitary figure, I saw my own inner tempest mirrored — every facet of my hopelessness perfectly echoed in his demeanor.
