First Birthday
Birth is often presented as the beginning of a carefully planned story. In reality, a person’s arrival may emerge from circumstance, desire, chance, expectation, or events beyond their control. Beneath the celebratory atmosphere of a first birthday lie subtle reminders that life does not always begin under ideal conditions. Yet the value of a life is not defined by the circumstances of its arrival, but by everything that unfolds afterwards.

Notes on the Work
Almost concealed within the darker areas of the composition, this element serves as a subtle reminder of what precedes birth. Its presence introduces questions of choice, chance, and responsibility, contrasting the celebratory atmosphere with the far more complex reality of human existence. Every beginning carries a story that often remains unseen, even when it is hidden in plain sight.
