About the artwork
Journey to the End of the Night
“It might be a good idea to stop being young this minute, to wait for youth to break away from you, and pass you by, to watch it going away, receding in the distance, to see all its vanity, run your hand through the empty space it has left behind, take a last look at it, and then start moving”
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
