A shepherd tends his flock on the outskirts of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where scattered waste interrupts the natural terrain. The animals graze among what remains of the land, navigating both sparse vegetation and the traces left behind by human presence. In a place shaped by tradition and survival, the ground tells a quieter story—one where the boundary between sustenance and neglect begins to blur. What once sustained life now carries the weight of what is discarded, leaving a landscape that reflects not only coexistence, but consequence.
