This work takes as its motif the myths of Narcissus and Sisyphus.
Sisyphus is compelled to roll a stone to the top of a slope, the stone
always escaping him near the top and rolling down again. He is forced
to do the same thing again and again. Narcissus loses his life by
overindulging in his own image. Here we find the endless Sisyphean
repetition and the contradiction of self-love in Narcissus. This work
is the artist's commentary on the destiny of sure death and the lifelong
process of increasing age.
