With this series, the photographer captures not only fleeting moments frozen in time, but also the enduring spirit of simplicity.

The first two photographs reveals the timeless allure of the old red phone booth, standing proudly amidst the darkened streets. A nostalgic symbol of a bygone era, it sparks memories of simpler times when communication was cherished and eagerly awaited. Bathed in the soft glow of the nearby streetlight, the phone booth seems to beckon wanderers with its allure, bridging the gap between the past and the present.

In the third frame, the focus shifts to the children playing on the streets, their laughter echoing through the night air. Unburdened by the complexities of the world, they chase each other with uninhibited glee, illuminating the surroundings with their radiant energy. Their carefree games infuse the scene with a sense of wonder. Finally, the streetlight itself emerges as a guiding light—steadfast and unwavering in its purpose. Casting a gentle glow upon the scene, it symbolizes safety and reassurance, guiding both the children at play and any passerby through the darkness.
