Between 2010 and 2013, artist Mila Teshaieva photographed three former Soviet republics on the shores of the Caspian Sea: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. The artist’s series tells of the challenges these newly formed states and their citizens face as they continue to forge independent national identities while simultaneously taking on the responsibilities of managing the region’s vast oil and gas reserves. The quiet, muted colors found in each image mirror the repressed uncertainties and anxieties of the people living in these countries, as they wait, hope, wish for, and imagine a future that is yet to arrive.Blue sky Gallery 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland 97209 Oregon États-Unis
