Altantsetseg
a nomad encampment in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia
Altantsetseg is a dedicated dental hygienist who's found her calling in the vastness of the Gobi Desert. She navigates the harsh terrain on a motorbike, with her dental kit packed in a milk crate, offering care to nomadic families while managing her clinic under the warm glow of a kerosene lamp. Her nights are a tumultuous blend of concern and creativity, pondering the state of her patients' oral health while orchestrating art from the unique sound patterns around her by the light of the moon.
