Description

A ring bearer is the tiny attendant entrusted with the grave task of carrying wedding rings while inwardly panicking under the spotlight. The more all eyes focus on him, the heavier the burden he bears, yet the moment he succeeds, his effort is promptly forgotten. The sweat on his fingertips against the ceremony’s splendor narrates the harshness hidden behind celebration. Wielding a veneer of sacredness that feels almost false, he is the prodigy of a system designed to make children carry pure terror. Once the mission is accomplished, he is doomed to revert to a mere pawn in the parade of girls and boys.
