In the fishing port’s market, labor stretches through the night. Men unload boxes from trucks, push heavy carts across wet floors, and sort seafood on melting ice. Knives cut fish with speed and precision while harsh lamps cast hard shadows on tired faces. Between transactions, a cigarette or a solitary meal offers a brief pause before work resumes. These scenes capture the raw economy of survival: sweat, repetition, and endurance carved into every gesture. A portrait of labor sustained by silence, strength, and necessity.
