In an industrial facility in Kandahar, Afghanistan, a man wearing a shalwar kameez and a head covering is actively operating a large, rusty industrial press. The machine is processing a significant quantity of yellowish-green fibrous material, possibly a byproduct or raw material for oil extraction. The man uses a yellow bucket on a rope to scoop the material from piles on the floor and feed it into the main opening of the press. As the machine operates, it expels compressed remnants of the material, which accumulate in large, messy piles around the base of the machinery. He moves between feeding the machine and observing its output on the right side. A shovel rests against the machine on the right. The facility appears worn and industrial, with various pipes and ductwork visible overhead. In the foreground, a white bag with partially visible text is present. The scene depicts a manual and labor-intensive industrial process.
