Description:

Swirls of soft color and ridges in this artwork invoke the motion of the waves these girls stand beside. For most of human history, bodies of water have been a place to meet, hunt, perform rituals, or simply play. The girls look to a sign to find out whether playtime can begin. While this scene may seem timeless, the featured photo was captured in 1944.
