The photo captures a close-up of a child’s face in a remote border area on a freezing winter day. Her rosy cheeks flushed by the cold wind, dry skin and chapped lips evoke the harshness of the highland climate. Her deep eyes, both innocent and determined, seem to contain the story of the mountains and forests and life in a remote border area. The warm scarf and woolen hat cover her, but cannot hide her lovely fragility, making this moment a symbol of resilience and hope in the harsh winter.
