The artist writes: "I think we all remember at least one birthday party from when we were in the fifth grade, celebrated with our school friends, so young and full of hope. I decided to create a watercolor piece encompassing the nostalgia that comes with growing up. I used bright pink shades to symbolize memory and happiness, and chose to write 'cake' on top of the cake to highlight the irony that comes with growing up so fast but wishing we could have stayed younger in those moments for a little bit longer."
