China's westernmost region of Xinjiang is an Alaska-sized territory of parched desert, snowcapped mountains and lush grasslands. It's blighted by severe poverty but is also undergoing rapid development due to China’s Belt and Road Initiative: a $900 billion rebooting of the ancient Silk Road through a trade and infrastructure network snaking via Central Asia to Europe and down through Africa. The photographer @patwack spent a total of two months traveling all over Xinjiang between April 2016 and May 2017 in order to document the changes engulfing the region. His focus was particularly drawn to the Uighur population, an 11 million-strong predominantly Muslim Turkic people that form a majority in Xinjiang. Many feel marginalized by Beijing’s ever more suffocating rule, agitating for greater autonomy and even independence. Local culture is distinct from the rest of China, with a mutton-heavy diet complemented by yogurt and breads, and vivid ethnic dress. In May 2016, Wack photographed two Uighur girls inside the ancient oasis town of Kashgar. See the full photo essay on TIME.com. Photograph by @patwack
