A woman stands in a studio against a projection of a photograph of herself as a child. Her body is turned three-quarters, her head slightly turned toward the lens, her gaze directed directly at the camera. Both hands hold a small birthday cake with a single lit candle. The vertical medium shot extends from hip level to head, the angle is at eye level, the composition is shifted to the right, and a large square light projection depicting a child is on the left side of the frame.The woman has even, warm skin with a pronounced glossy glow on her cheekbones and collarbones. She wears shaded, neutral beige eyeshadow, neat eyeliner along the lash line, long lashes, and nude pink lips with a satin finish.Her hair is loose and smooth, with a soft wave along the length.She wears a thin metal tiara with small decorative elements.She wears a cream-colored satin dress with thin straps and a smooth, shiny texture, the fabric draping softly over her figure. She holds a small cream cake with a decorative, textured border and a single, thin candle with a live flame. Helium balloons in neutral shades with matte and pearlescent surfaces are positioned to the right of the frame.The setting is a darkened studio with a directional light square on the wall, projecting an enlarged childhood photograph.
