Artwork Description:
The Birthday, a digital homage to Velázquez’s Las Meninas—one of Chiao’s childhood touchstones—unfolds in a palace interior where two women in peacock-plumed dresses gather around a birthday cake. Their likenesses, drawn from the artist’s girlfriend and her sister, become a hymn to the enigma and radiance of youth.
