A man takes his tea. He dips a piece of bread in the glass. His foot rests next to a ceramic kettle – number 8.
A boy herds sheep with the help of a big stick. He can’t be more than five. There is dust all around him – number 11.
A woman rests under a big truck. She wears white. She stares at the camera but you cannot see her eyes – number 19.
Children play in a field, in a circle. There is a red ball in mid-air. They are all watching it. Their motion, their excitement, the soft movement of their gestures is frozen in time – number 22.
Hennaed fingernails and a nose stud. A baby looks into the camera – number 27.
A hospital and then more hospitals – numbers 29-31.
