From depicting Napoleon's body to capturing the essence of a Papuan man in Dory Harbour, West Papua, his artistry knew no bounds. In his 1824 masterpiece "Chap. XV: Ecrivons ala Vielle (Writings for the elderly), " Adam beautifully portrays the wisdom and grace that come with age. Similarly, in "Chap. XVII: Il faut faire une Fin. Je lepouse (It must end. I am married), " he skillfully captures the bittersweet moments of closure and new beginnings. With a touch of irony, Adam presents us with "Chap. X: Quel guignon. (What bad luck. )" and "Chap.

VII: C est aqui m aura (Who will claim me?)" and "Chap. VI: Je ne pouvais pas aller apied (I no longer walk anywhere), " these pieces delve into questions of identity and belonging that resonate universally.

Delving deeper into introspection, we encounter "Chap II: Je ne me reconnais plus (I No Longer Recognize Myself)" where Adam explores themes of self-discovery amidst personal transformation.
