This place is the wall of the citadel of Khiva, a city in Uzbekistan isolated in the desert north of Samarkand. It was an important stop on the legendary Silk Road. I captured a man alone, an image that could be a symbol of loneliness. When I looked at the image again, I realized the man had a mobile phone in his hand: he wasn’t alone after all; he was connected to the world. Our frames of reference need to be reconsidered!
