WHY DOES CUBISM AND OLD AGE GO TOGETHER?

At least that's what I thought when I saw this digital art. I mean all the elements are there.

For one, the wrinkles. Remember when you were a kid and slept soundly? When you woke up, you had these creases on your face from where the pillow left its marks? Well, when you get older, most of us don't sleep that well, at least that uninterrupted to make them anymore. What's worse is that we wear those crease marks on our face all the time.

Secondly, our eyelids sag, among other things. If you look closely, we have a bit of a lizard look since not only do they sag, but also they wrinkle on top of wrinkle. You most likely don't notice them so much because of our crows' feet around our little eyes, which seem to shrink with age.

As far as our ears and nose, well they may have flattened out some or even grown pointy. Some times basal cells have to be removed on those areas. When you've been scalpeled there, indentations result. Sharpness is the cubist's bread and butter.

Our mouths also pucker up or start to disappear. Again, a boon to the cubist. So we offer lines and sharpness as we age.

I wish I had better news for you youngins. I know. You're not going to get old. You're not going to look like that if you do. As Gene Pitney sang back in the day of pillow case creases,"Keep telling yourself/And if it gets you through another day/Well, hey; that's ok, keep telling yourself".
