Mikey Ratcliffe, Ethereal Playtime (PEOPLE 2024)

In the heart of Perth City, a moment of pure magic unfolds as a child dances through the mist of steam jets. Captured in a freeze pose, the child appears almost otherworldly, while a ghostly outline of another child in the background adds a layer of mystery. The interplay of light and vapor creates an ethereal atmosphere, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The aim is to invite you to step into a world where innocence meets the surreal, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
