A Syrian man looks at the camera holding a bucket of mortar, and he has smudges of the gray mortar all over his hands, face, and clothing. He stands on a short wall and wears a red long sleeve shirt and jeans. A woman is facing away from the camera, standing on the ground, wearing a purple polka-dotted shirt and a black headscarf. She is taking the bucket of mortar from the man. The sky is blue behind them with fluffy clouds, and they are standing next to a gray brick shelter which takes up most of the right side of the photo.
