Mud-Splattered Boy Laughing Under String Lights

Blue twilight washes over a young boy's face, illuminating thick smears of brown mud across his cheeks and forehead. He laughs with an open mouth, eyes crinkled tight against the dimming light. Warm yellow glow from nearby string lights reflects in his moist pupils, against the cool gray of the heavy overcast sky above. The background dissolves into soft, dark bokeh, isolating his expression against the urban Yokohama evening. Fine textures of wet earth cling to his skin, catching the artificial light while the air remains still and dry. one drop of moisture traces a path down his jawline.
