The image displays an individual processing fish at a rudimentary station in Qorowul, Uzbekistan. An adult male, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a light-colored, stained apron, is positioned on the right side of the frame, facing left in profile. His right hand holds a tool, likely a scaler, actively scraping the skin of a fish held by his left hand. The fish, light in color, rests on a dark, wet work surface heavily splattered with white scales, water, and reddish biological material. A large butcher's cleaver with a metallic blade and black handle is positioned to the left of the fish, resting on the surface. A red plastic crate, containing similar residues, is visible on the far left. Two elongated wooden objects are present on the work surface behind the fish. The immediate background consists of a dark, possibly black, plastic sheet serving as a wall covering, wet and wrinkled. Above this, a lighter, semi-translucent, mesh-like fabric forms the upper portion of the enclosure, suggesting an outdoor or semi-open provisional structure.
