The artwork shows the winner Rebecca in the centre and her two sisters, Anna, 6, and Esther, 4, on both sides. The trio is sipping hot chocolate under the sun where vines and flowers spell out the word Google. She described her design:
“Sometimes I love them, and sometimes I dislike them very much, but I can’t imagine my life without my sisters. I have learned to be a little bit more patient with them, and they have had an enormous impact on me. We help to inspire each other and to help each other grow like the vines and flowers in my picture. I am never lonely with them, and they can cheer me up. I am grateful for them and all that they have done for me. In this drawing, we are having a fun time drinking hot chocolate, which is one of my fondest memories. The rainbow in the background symbolizes one of the first things I helped one of my sisters draw. In one of my family pictures, my sisters (sitting next to me) and I (the one in the middle) are sitting in flowers with a background that I drew, so I thought it would be fun to reference that by drawing us sitting flowers here. The word “Google” is related to the stems of flowers and vines, also following the flower/garden theme. My drawing is composed of all our happiest memories to show just how grateful I am for them.”
Rebecca’s success in this esteemed competition is a testament to the transformative power of art and the immense potential of young artists to inspire change. Through her creative expression, she reminds us of the beauty found in embracing relationships and promotes siblings' bonds. Her talent and inspiring message will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on young viewers worldwide.
