Visual Essay Do you want to play?

Natasha Dyszel

Throughout the pages, the publication invites us to reflect on the importance of play in childhood. Playing is much more than just a simple activity: it’s a form of connection, expression, exploration of the world around them, discovery, and enjoyment. Through the illustrations, we can see different children interacting with objects, whether alone, in the intimacy of their imagination, or sharing moments with others, creating bonds.
