Bubbles stream across Margaret Mahy Family Playground

6 August 2024

Portrait of people watching and children jumping as a stream of bubbles floats across Margaret Mahy Family Playground.

Contributors note: "This photo was taken in August 2024 at The Margaret Mahy Family Playground. A man suddenly appeared with a white bucket and began creating giant bubbles. Instantly, children from different ethnic —many who had never met before—started laughing, jumping, and chasing the bubbles together. In that joyful moment, all differences faded, and the playground became a place of pure connection and happiness. I captured this beautiful scene on my phone."
