In Pir Dust, Afghanistan, ten adult males are gathered around a freshly poured concrete slab on a dry, gravel-covered ground. The men are attired in traditional Afghan clothing, with four wearing safety vests (three lime green, one orange) and two wearing white hard hats. The man on the far right holds a stack of white papers. At the center of the gathering, a rectangular object, approximately 70 centimeters long, is partially set into wet concrete within a channel on the slab. This object is wrapped in a reflective material, festooned with pink flowers, and covered by a layer of clear plastic sheeting. The immediate surroundings consist of light grey gravel. In the background, a vast, arid, and dusty plain extends to the horizon, dotted with several light-colored shipping containers or modular units, with distant mountains visible beneath a clear blue sky. Strong shadows indicate bright, direct sunlight.
