"Waiting for the Time" 2007
Pencil on paper, 18.5x24cm
Higher resolution image is downloadable.

This image is from my little personal experience on the old people and mostly from an inspiration from "L’Étranger" by A. Camus.
In the novel, there's a main character's mother's funeral scene in a nursing house. While the main character, Meursault, doesn't show any emotion at his own mother's funeral (and it insists his unfortunate at the last), however, the other members from the nursing house who were Meursault's mother's friends show various emotions, such as weeping, crying and sighs. After the moment, Meursault and his mother's old friends fall asleep on their chair and pass a night together. Meursault's cool narration tells since he couldn't hear the olds' voice well, he couldn't believe it was real experience. He also says he had a "silly" feeling that he was judged by them, and this feeling suggesting his end.
However, drawing this piece, I enjoyed thinking about age and death and un-describable expressions.

I would like to thank ~MiRcorvo [link] for leading me to Camus (not "L'Etranger" though). His drawings and animations are simply outstanding, so please visit his dA gallery. You must feel you are completely lost in his world.
