Written on the back of this work is: “I took this picture when I was working on my project The Middle Distance. There was a boat that was sitting out in the Caspian Sea on the coast of Azerbaijan. The project was about women and I was researching and working on lots of different little stories about women in the region. But in between working on those stories, I would also just wander and explore with my camera. I made so much work from that trip, so there are a lot of images — like this one — that I've always liked but didn't obviously fit into the subject.” — Olivia Arthur
