Photographer Chloe Dewe Mathews Travels to Azerbaijan with Vice to take a closer look at how the Caspian region is re-defining itself in the wake of new oil wealth and a free reign on their future. Vice follows Chloe as she photographs the region and the people who live on and around the ancient sea.

"In 2010 I travelled overland from China to Britain, hitchhiking and camping, in an attempt to experience and capture the cultural shift that takes place as one moves from Asia to Europe. On the way I found the Caspian, the world’s largest inland sea, languishing quietly between two great continents. It represents the kernel of my journey and is the place where Asia begins to dissolve into Europe. I spent several months on the Caspian’s eastern and western shores, exploring the region, trying to get to its heart." ~Chloe Dewe Mathews
