Sisyphus And I (2020)

​

The work is an attempt to portray the state of anxiety and depression that the artist repeatedly found themselves in for several years. A state of tumbling around in a darkness beyond control, without the ability to escape from it. In this existential crisis, minimal resistance and compliance became a survival strategy, like a swimmer who yields to waves that are too high in order to avoid drowning.

​

The work's title alludes to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, condemned to eternally roll a stone up a mountain only to watch it roll down again. Here, however, the myth is transformed into a personal narrative about powerlessness and disorientation, where the stone represents the artist's own feeling of being trapped in a repetitive pattern of psychological suffering.
