A young Kim Jong-un, five years old, stands with a mischievous grin, his face smudged with dirt from an afternoon of play. Clad in a miniature North Korean scout uniform, he holds a small toy airplane, a symbol of youthful dreams. Beside him, his father, Kim Jong-il, stands with a warm, proud smile, a guiding hand on his son's shoulder. In the background, a group of children in similar uniforms giggles and whispers at the edge of a typical North Korean residential street, their shoes coated in dust. The scene is captured as if through a 200mm medium format lens, with soft, natural light and warm tones that evoke the tender, nostalgic style of Elizabeth Messina. The streets are lined with understated, modest homes, their colors faded under the gentle sun, while a bicycle leans casually against the wall, completing the tableau of simple, carefree childhood.
