HIDE+SEEK IS A PLAYFUL
REIMAGINING OF THE CHILDHOOD GAME, WHERE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN HIDING AND SEEKING BLUR.
Instead of fixed roles, both boys share the dual role of hider and seeker - two concepts that coexist rather than oppose each other. The images are quirky yet tender, exploring the fluidity of masculinity through moments of play, vulnerability, and intimacy.
