In this print, I've captured the exuberance and boundless spirit of youth through the depiction of a boy mid-leap against a backdrop fragmented like light on water. Using the gravure technique allowed me to embed fine details and layers, creating a texture that symbolizes the ever-shifting moment between control and abandon. The vivid hues and dynamic composition inject a space with vibrant energy and a splash of youthful optimism.
