¶ … Believing and Doubting Game Microtheme 1: Posing a problematic question

Is this boy removing rocks from the site or delivering them to the site?

It appears that the boy is removing rocks from the site. It would appear that the boy is carrying several rocks away from the site, cradling several in his arms. The boy's back is towards the rock pile, so it seems he is in the process of walking away from the site with the rocks. But the boy could just be pausing during his work to pose for a picture then resume, facing in the opposite direction.

The rocks also appear to be very clean, like they had not been on the ground, covered in dirt. Therefore, it is possible that the boy is moving rocks into the area, perhaps bringing them from his home into a more natural area. However, the boy's shirt sleeves have dirt on them, possibly indicating that he has been digging and rooting around in this muddy, dirty area to hunt for the rocks.

The boy seems happy as though he is engaged in a worthwhile endeavor, perhaps indicating he is working to clean up a long-forgotten area. He could be helping with a larger cleanup effort. But, he could also be happy because he has found rocks for something he is building at home. The picture is far too ambiguous to be able to determine exactly what is happening and, without more information, the meaning is open to any interpretation.
