Here's a collage of people and faces. Whether one is in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan each of these countries have populations of Kazakhs, Kyrgs, and Uzbeks. The blood lines of traditional tribes don’t recognize political borders. Add to this mix the Slavic Russians, Ukrainians and more. On any given day if you look into someone’s face you have no guarantee what country you’re in. But they all have a common humanity. We’re all the same, but different.
