This video portrait captures two young boys draped in bedsheets and blankets, running freely through an abandoned space. The work explores the complex interplay of childhood joy, shame, and liberation. The space bears a subtle resemblance to a colosseum, a structure traditionally linked to notions of masculinity and strength. Here, however, it is transformed into a playful sanctuary—a space where the two young boys can run freely and unburdened, without the gaze or judgment of adults. It becomes a world entirely their own, filled with freedom and imagination.
