Lost Connection

March 2021: All throughout Bamyan Province - a picturesque mountainous region of Afghanistan 80 miles west of Kabul - thousands of unconnected and unfinished electricity pylons stretch for miles, and have done so for longer than a year now.

The pylons remain standing, unused and unemployed, symbolic of the corruption afflicting the electricity sector, the feeling of an abandoned population and their disillusion toward the governing authorities.
