Description
After a freezing night, Nyentak would rather stay wrapped in his blankets. But outside, the snow is waiting.
With no proper skis, he makes his own from pieces of plastic pipe and heads out to play with the other children.
This simple moment captures a childhood shaped by cold, isolation and ingenuity — where harsh conditions are part of everyday life, but so are laughter, invention and the freedom to turn the landscape into a playground.
