A new conversation
In front of the Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, two men sit in conversation, immersed in the stillness of the sunset. As I pass by, time seems to stand still, our eyes meet, and in the silence, a moment of mutual presence arises, the beginning of a new conversation. This encounter speaks of the simple grace of life as it flows, of encounters, of everyday life, and of a diversity that intrigues.
