Behind a curtain of white and blue strips, two children try to climb a wall, leaving only their little feet dangling in the air. This scene, captured in Cambodia, evokes the ingenuity and spontaneity of childhood. The bodies are hidden, but the movement is there: legs stretched out, toes gripping the walls, a silent attempt to reach an unknown world. The curtain, both obstacle and mystery, adds a poetic dimension to the image. It suggests a story that we can only imagine: are they playing hide and seek? Are they trying to scale a forbidden wall? Their anonymity reinforces the universality of the moment, bringing back memories of childhood when every room in the home became a playground for adventure. The light filtering through the slats accentuates the contrast between the fixity of the set and the dynamism of the children. A fleeting scene, but full of life, evoking the insatiable curiosity and simple joy of play.
