Listen to the audio description of this artwork:
The photo reflects the relationship between children and the city. It is an ode to children’s explorative and anarchic play, in which they engage with urban spaces in unstructured and imaginative ways, often defying adult-imposed rules. Although such play is becoming increasingly rare in today’s Western context, it remains essential for fostering a sense of agency and belonging.
