self portrait, 1992

When you are young you know nothing but are convinced you know everything. And that’s its charm. It’s what makes foolhardy youth passionate and beautiful. When you are old you know nothing and are well aware you know nothing. After all the trial and error and revolving 3 a.m. philosophies you are still naked and lost. It’s exactly this which tinges age with sadness.
