What else can go wrong? Frozen in place, in suspended time, an elderly man working as a food delivery driver awaits his shift, which may come too late or never. Trapped in what resembles an ice age of the modern era, he endures harsh weather while waiting.

​

"Too Late, Too Old, Too Cold" serves as a metaphor for the challenges faced by a generation that, despite enduring much, persists. It acts as a warning, prompting reflection on the consequences of neglecting collective support and failing to make the most of one's time, illustrating the outcomes of being lost in the role of a worker without heeding one's inner calling.

​

The work portrays the vulnerability of an aging worker left to confront the elements alone, yet his hands are positioned in a mudra, suggesting a search for universal energies, a plea for wisdom, or an attempt to harness inner strength amid adversity.
