Summary

This quote humorously highlights the stage of middle age when one starts to feel too young to pursue certain activities typically associated with older individuals, such as playing golf, requiring a level of patience and skill. Simultaneously, they also feel too old to engage in more energetic activities, like rushing up to the net in a game. The quote underscores the feeling of being in a transitional phase, where one's physical abilities and priorities may not align with those of a younger or older age group.

I was trying to make art that my son could look on in the future and would realize I was thinking about him very much during these times... that he can look and see my dad's thinking about me, but to also embed in these things something that is bigger than all of us.
