A cinematic film still, vertical 9:16, natural light, documentary realism, no text, no captions. Central Asia, an ordinary town in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. Scene: The wrinkled hands of a woman, about seventy, hold a cup of tea on a small table by a window. The person is seen only from behind, in silhouette, or as hands: no face is visible anywhere in the frame. Timeless everyday setting, no phones, no screens, no cars newer than the 1980s. Everyone is fully and modestly clothed. No written words, signs or numbers in the picture.
