The contemporary identity of three countries located along the Caspian Sea are explored and documented in this collection by photographer Mila Teshaieva. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have been plagued by internal and internationally battles over oil and gas reserves, leaving countries devoid of unity and national identity. . Teshaieva's images reveal an atmosphere of insecurity, where people pin their hopes and expectations on a transformation whose direction remains uncertain.
