In the gentle hum of a coffee shop, a moment unfurls in black and white. A three-year-old boy, adorned with the playful guise of wisdom, peers through makeshift glasses—lids of a RolleiFlex camera. His expression, a curious fusion of childhood and sage-like contemplation, beckons us to consider the profound truths hidden in simplicity. This portrait whispers of the timeless dance between innocence and insight, urging us to reflect: what lessons do we, as adults, forget in the pursuit of life's complexities?
