“When the Dust Settles”, follows the traces of road developments, construction, destruction and collapse. Recently witnessing men at work sifting through gravel has often evoked the image of Aleryani’s grandmother conscientously sifting through flour in her kitchen. From the ingredients of dough, Aleryani attempts to knead a mix ashpalt and flour in attempt to unite the two. What remains is the detritus, an impression of the stubborn dough cut into shapes, mapping recent roads that have fell apart and are currently under repair.
