A pipe around Filwuha offers a refuge. Among a towering stack of Reinforced Concrete Drainage Pipes, a small space has been claimed as a home. The makeshift shelter inside one of the pipes contains a simple bed of blankets on a wooden board and a pair of worn-out sneakers, providing a glimpse into a life of resilience and illustrating a powerful image of survival in a harsh setting. A few scattered belongings hint at the daily struggle to meet basic needs. The contrast between the cold concrete and the fragile attempt at comfort underscores the gap between rapid urban change and those left behind.
