Pieces of old books frequently show up in the art of Andre Monet, often in the background of portraits, since he believes that every face tells a story. Similarly, this piece takes its inspiration from books, specifically memoirs, as they tell life stories and are the record keepers for the many moments that fill the corners of the mind. As in visual art, the stories that a person chooses to put to paper are immortalized. The mind may go, and the person eventually goes too, but the memories remain. They are the legacy.
