Text: Here is the text embedded in the background of the artwork (about old age and memory):
If I ever die, I wish to die of love, for example to die suffering of desire or be a victim of a crime of passion. It’s terrible to die of any other cause. Imagine dying of a sickness or just from old age! Listen, I think I am growing younger every day. I am becoming smaller, losing weight, losing my hair, my skin is now soft like that of a baby. Touch it! See? It’s so soft! I believe I will soon be your age again. As soon as I am young again, I can take you to the end of the world. We’ll start a completely new life together. I am really sorry I didn’t remember your name. But the warmth of your hands is familiar to me. I am sure I have loved you passionately in the past. Did you know that it’s possible to fall in love with the same person more than once in one life? Age gives you that strength by taking away memory. Loss of memory brings the freshness of rediscovery. I am now able to fall in love with you again and again. (Text: Ina Mar)

So glad to have found you or your work, though it may be one in the same………super image and grand write…..With age one may relate to this more and more………………..Joe
Thank you for your motivating words, Joe. I wish we could see more the positive aspects of aging.
Ina, I love this, this concept of image and memory and life. I think what the words and image are saying to me is that when beauty is confined to surface elements it becomes tied to an inhibiting static opinion. But when we let go, let beauty be the passion of existence, memory is fluid to where and how we are…able to live, even within the same person, over and over and new each moment.
