This is a portrait of myself at a very young age, an attempt to peer back in time. The script, written backwards as if in a mirror, or seen from the wrong side of the glass is "If I had known then what I know now - if I knew now what I knew then" refers to the shifting perceptions of truth we have at different points in our lives. One age's certainty isn't necessarily more true than another's, it's just the way things seem at the time. I wonder what wisdom is lost as one's knowledge increases, who this person ultimately is, and how true he remains to himself.
