Narcissus - January 4, 1980

"I call it Narcissus. It's off that old myth. The water that he is looking into is kind of a fountain of youth. People now days, they worship youth a lot. But the idea is that he sits there by the water looking at himself until he turns into a Narcissus. But the idea I've tried to bring out is that he has grown old there, but he still sees himself as young and beautiful. In the myth, Echo is the one who died of love of Narcissus, because he couldn't return her love. So this is her, the flower with the face on it. I didn't know how to draw a sound."
