Victoria Ugarte, Bondi Exuberance (DOCO 2021)

The light at Bondi Beach on 2 December 2020 was grey and flat, and the surf was largely uninspiring. In stark contrast were two young boys running up and down the shoreline with wild abandon, skidding and skimming on their body boards. The vivid colour of their boards, their laughter, and the energy of their uninhibited exuberance, was infectious and lit up the beach that day.
