A Winter in Kandahar follows the war through its quieter season. Made alongside Canadian and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan, the photographs move through wet roads, overcast light, and military positions taking shape in the pause between fighting cycles. Winter changes the appearance of Kandahar and slows the surface rhythms of daily life, but it does not bring peace. It produces a different kind of uncertainty, where violence becomes less visible without losing its hold on the landscape.

What drew me to this period was the way conflict persisted in altered form. Patrols continue through softened roads and open terrain. Soldiers move into villages and establish new outposts in places that would be far more dangerous in warmer months. The season changes the form of the war. The emptiness begins to feel less like calm than delay.

The photographs follow that suspended interval. Kandahar appears caught in the lull before violence rises again. Winter brings relief from heat and dust, but not from the conflict itself. It changes the texture of war and the way it settles into space.
