Press Release

Let The Children Play" presents Jay McKay's latest body of work, a poignant exploration of childhood nostalgia reminiscent of the phrase "let the kids be kids". Through a series of dynamic expressive pieces, McKay reflects on a time
when outdoor play was a fundamental experience of youth - one that fostered creativity, social connection, and a deep engagement with the community. This is all in contrast to today's digital saturation, where children are increasingly absorbed by screens and social media. McKay's work serves as both a tribute and a call to reimagine play as a communal act.
