  "In black t-shirt and jeans, a 10 year old boy kneels on the bare foundation of a building. Rusted rebar sticks out from the ground casting long shadows. In front of the boy a patch of vegetation grows wild through a square gap in the concrete. The growth is mostly weeds mixed with a vibrant purple wildflowers. The boy's hand pauses at the edge of the square where a single yellow flower grows. Another apparent gap in the concrete next to him is covered by wooden boards so that nothing shows through."
