The project explores the historical connections between inadequate water exploitation and female labor in Soviet-era Central Asia. Centered around The Great Fergana Canal and the cotton production, the project examines the intentional manipulation of both water resources and women for industrial ends. The project consists of four main elements:

(1) Installation crafted from aprons used by women during cotton picking. The aprons will act as canvases and will weave together reworked collages of archival photography, maps, patterns, graphics and other elements to form a holistic body of women at work.

(2) Through a series of documentary photographs, the project will shed light on the enduring legacy of women's labor and the continuous significance of cotton production in the country's agricultural landscape. This visual narrative aims to bridge the historical context with the present, capturing the essence of women's contributions to the ongoing narrative of cotton cultivation.

(3) Three interconnected moving images composed of reworked archival videos showcasing the construction of The Great Fergana Canal, The Hujum Movement and The Cotton Dance. These films aim to convey the choreography inherent in women's labor and the process of taming a women’s body.

(4) The archival table serves as a critical component, offering a space for rethinking existing materials related to cotton, water usage, and women's labor in Central Asia. By deconstructing preexisting narratives, the table aims to instill a critical gaze on these themes, encouraging viewers to question and reinterpret the historical and cultural aspects associated with the region.
