Written on the back of this work is: “This image links to intimacy in the sense that these young people, handing cobblestones to each other, are defining their youth selves.

Individuality, personality, are often thought to be constructed privately, in an intimate sphere.

Here, this is a whole generation affirming its identity in the public space: fraternally passing cobblestones, brick by brick, building themselves up.” — Bruno Barbey
