Some of the romantic entanglements which didn't result in me

My grandfather's last birthday in 1979.

I I felt my grandfather’s absence in the 1980 negatives folder and it was later confirmed that he had indeed died in 1979. I think this was my father's golden age, the time when his father was alive.

I like to think about what paintings witness, about how they age alongside us, and about how they will most likely outlive us
