Road to Kurdistan Possibly 1979 - 1980

"Road to Kurdistan" (circa 1979-1980) is a black and white photograph by Gilles Peress. The image captures a moment of uncertainty and isolation, with two figures walking alone on a street, their paths diverging. The composition highlights the contrast between the sharp lines of the street and the soft, blurred edges of the figures, emphasizing the sense of distance and detachment. Peress's work is known for its stark, evocative style, often focusing on the impact of conflict and displacement, making "Road to Kurdistan" a poignant visual reflection of a turbulent period.
