What the creator captured
Vagabrothers was struck by the surreal and rapid transformation of the Aral Sea from the world's fourth largest inland sea to a toxic desert. They found it mind-boggling to stand 60 meters below what was recently water, witnessing a man-made ecological disaster that has marooned entire fishing fleets in the sand. The duo concluded that without a total shift in the regional cotton economy, the remaining water is likely to vanish entirely by 2025.
