The image captures a young boy, his face contorted with emotion as he yells out into the desolate surroundings of a demolished slum. It is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many residents during that era. The remnants of the demolished slum serve as a haunting backdrop, emphasizing the destruction and decay that once plagued this neighborhood. The rubble scattered around him symbolizes not only physical devastation but also represents shattered dreams and lost hope.
