How the photo relates to the theme of 'risk':
"The Burj Khalifa and one of the thousands of immigrant workers that helped build the world's tallest building. Dubai's 828m super-skyscraper is a symbol to a past era of irresponsibility and uncalculated risks, fuelled by credit and overconsumption. As Dubai's economy returns to reality the Burj Khalifa will still be standing, but at what costs"
