IThis work frankly displays the horror felt by the artist himself when he approached 40. The birthday cake that celebrates that event is transfigured into a horrible face. It is the head of Medusa who turns those in her sight to stone. The cake candles become Medusa's snake hair. Although the model for the face of Medusa is not the artist himself, we can say at least that his feelings seem to be projected on it. The ambiguity of the image of the phenomenon of birth and death is often used by the artist as in "Mother May I" and "Cake Walk".
