In the series “End of an Age” (1996-1998), Paul Graham captures the time between youthful excess and the emerging awareness of adult responsibilities.

“These two extremes combine so that we ricochet between reality and escape. The point is to speak about this duality - seeing the world shockingly clearly, with moments of brilliant intensity, then to snap to the opposite extreme, avoiding reality, running away and escaping.”  - Paul Graham
