This series quietly observes children as they move through daily life—retrieving a ball, crossing a stream, waiting, walking. The moments are small, unspoken, and unplanned.
Each image holds a sense of stillness. Not the absence of movement, but a quiet kind of presence—focused, introspective, often unnoticed. Light and gesture become the language. The rhythm of childhood emerges not through performance, but through pause.
These photographs aim to preserve that quiet: the spaces between, the unscripted flow of growing up, and the ordinary corners where it happens.
