Description:
This captures a moment of hesitation and anticipation as a boy stands at the river's edge, clutching two inner tubes, ready to dive into the unknown. The artwork is charged with the tension of youthful daring, underscored by a rusted safety pin, a poignant symbol of vulnerability and the fine line between caution and courage.
