The assignment was to tell the story of a stranger through a photograph. A single fish drifts slowly through the aquarium, its movements calm but aimless as it circles the glass walls. The water is clear, yet empty. Light filters down from above, reflecting off its scales and casting faint ripples along the tank, but the space still feels confined and quiet. Every turn brings it back to the same corners, the same boundaries, as if there is nowhere else to go. In the stillness of the tank, the fish seems alone in its own small world, surrounded by space yet separated from anything beyond it.
