[...] With age we tend to forget about the degree of courage necessary for our teenage selves to encounter the other: the uncertainty, the splendour, the desire, the sheer organic drive that carried us forth into the other. Because youth can only find itself through others; others are the ones who uncover us and portray us, be those others love or be they the substances disassembling the old order of childhood and leading us to unknown urges. Time begins to contract. It is a time of urgency and dissatisfaction. Everything becomes necessary. This is why, when we look at these portraits, we are looking, in a certain way, into a broken mirror: some of its pieces reflect what we once were and is now lying dormant within us, like a ghost incessantly asking the question: Who are you? What has become of you? These are unavoidable questions in adult life. Somehow, these youngsters are looking into the eyes of the adults they will one day become: and, in this sense, their gaze —their questioning— is devastating.
