This is the last picture I made of Sonia in june 2007.We had only one sitting, and we were never able to finish the drawing. But the drawing is finished as it is, even if she "lost" one eye. As a picure of a mental situation it is perfect (and now she may be angry with me). As an human being it will always be difficult, maybe even impossible, to see yourself as others seee you. When you are young, when you are trying to accept yourself as the being you really are, you are blind to more than half of your own personality. Some people will never be able to find the answer to the question "What am I?". I do think Sonia has found part of the answer, but I also believe that the real answer is not what she believes it to be. Why should it be easier for her to find the solution to her questions about herself than it has been for me to understand what I am. She has to accept that the answer can not be given her before she is at the end of her life.
