A black-and-white photograph of a child running playfully through mist at the Wharf in D.C., their silhouette glowing in the interplay of light and shadow. The surrounding reflections and urban backdrop create a poignant contrast, symbolizing the divide between the fleeting wonder of childhood and the structured, distant world of adulthood. The mist becomes a veil, hiding a paradise of joy and imagination that adults can see but never return to.
