Part of series called Birthday Party. It's a reflection on how things have changed in the last two years. The bbqs, the parties, the dances, the 'apéros', the spontaneous gatherings that the children remember pre-pandemic. All these will never be the same. The loneliness that was new is now part of our life. This reflects the new normal.
