The theme was summer.
The illustration captures the essence of summertime as more than just a season, but as an emotion, a nostalgia, and a cherished memory. The scene unfolds with a child perched upon the wooden porch of a lakeside retreat, their legs dipped into the cool, shimmering waters below.
It beckons us to reconnect with our inner child, to rediscover the simple pleasures of life, and to cherish the timeless magic of summer, not merely as a season, but as a state of being—a cherished memory etched into the fabric of our souls.
