About the Image/Motif:
The image shows two children, one on a scooter and the other on a tricycle. Their shadows and wheels are highlighted by sunlight, creating a dynamic yet serene composition. The shadows play an equally important role as the children themselves, giving the image a fascinating duality between the energy of play and the shaping of light.

Technical Details: Olaf Christoffersen subtly uses light and shadow to both highlight and abstract the motif. The soft focus gives the image a pictorialist quality, while maintaining a lively connection to the joys of childhood. The composition guides the viewer's eyes from the wheels to the movement of the shadows.
