content: A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a young boy sitting on luggage, on his way to Puerto Rico for his first time. The background is a blur of people. The young boy wears a horizontal and vertical stripped, short sleeved shirt with a collar and breast pocket. He wears shorts to his knees with long, black socks. It appears he has something on his proper left wrist, presumably a rubber band.
