The Aral Sea no longer exists.
My cousin Thierry went to walk, he left 6 years. In my memory, he wanted to see the Aral Sea before it disappeared (in my memory). He traveled 17000 km from Valence in the Drôme to Malaysia. I photographed him when he returned.
The Aral Sea does not exist anymore.
My cousin Thierry left for a walk, he walked 6 years straight. In my memory, I wanted to go to the sea before it, in my memory. He walked for 17000 km from Valencia, our small town in France to Malaisia. The Aral sea became a small little point on his journey I took pictures of him when he got back, here is a portrait.
