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.
