The Cake
Birthday cake serves as a symbolic representation of the passage of time, the cyclical nature of celebration and the way it both repeats and evolves over the years. As we age, the significance of this ritual changes, becoming more nuanced and introspective.
Part of solo exhibition ‘More Birthday Cake’ (12-23 April 2023 at SOL Gallery, Melbourne) is an exploration of the multifaceted concept of celebration and its complex relationship with time. This body of work delves into the interplay between our human desire for joyous commemoration and the bittersweet reality of ageing and transience.
