woman in the dunes (evanescence) Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

the photo was published on photovogue.com selected by the jury of the Changing Asia 2023 contest for the photography book and will be the part of the touring exhibition. A portrait of Raihan - young karakalpak woman in national dress & jewerly, shot in the desert - bottom of Aral sea near Muynak - former port at the Aral sea. There's no big story behind that portrait, but it has some dimensions for me. A bit of self-irony, a bit of providence. It might look as well planned fashion shooting with a team, but it's not. It was a miraculaous meeting of two persons under the sheltering sky in a place known as ships graveyard. Quick desicion & spontaneous, one-minute shooting before the sun disappeared. A young beautiful lady living in the middle of nowhere and a middle-aged photographer, who realised his life collapsed & went to explore Central Asia soon after his country began invasion to his neighbour. Here, in the land where some civilizations disappered, where the clock of apocalipse is placed, the sky is full of stars, time seems stopped & you look at all the disasters from another perspective. I went to Muynak as photojournalist to shot a car rally for a local media. After two days spent in the desert we returned back to the starting point. And i was rewarded by that land, by the escaped sea with this beautiful gift.
