Spring Lessons (2025)

Under a full sun that turns the wide pastures and woods around a house into an idyllic playground, a boy plays with his father to be a man. In the midst of the greenery, the aggressiveness is heartwarming: the father teaches him boxing and with it, the responsibility and restraint that come with mastering one's own body; the boy listens to rap and caresses chicks. Masculinity and childhood are documented in a contradictory, sweet and incautious nature. Seen in this light, the images of upbringing can convince us: love and virtue are built and transmitted in small lessons.
