Middle schooler wins Doodle for Google 2023: A middle school pupil from Washington will have her artwork displayed on Google’s homepage for 24 hours on Tuesday, after winning the national Doodle for Google competition.
Rebecca Wu’s artwork, titled ‘My Sweetest Memories,’ is a tribute to her sisters, whom she says she both loves and dislikes, but cannot fathom her life without.
When describing her Doodle, Wu said, “We help to inspire each other and help each other grow like the vines and flowers in my picture.” “I am never lonely when I am with them, and they can cheer me up.”

Wu drew her sisters seated next to her while holding a cup of hot chocolate in her Doodle. Wu, who is seated in the centre, stated that this is one of her most cherished recollections.
“I have learned to be a bit more patient with them, and they have had a tremendous impact on me.” “I am appreciative of all that they have done for me, Wu Stated.
She explained that the rainbow in the background represents one of the first items she helped one of her sisters draw.
The sisters are surrounded by flowers and vines, which, according to Wu, symbolises “how the sisters help each other grow, just like the flowers and vines in my picture.” The stems and petals form the word “Google.”
