sisyphus garden

102x102cm / 40×40” acrylic on wood panel, 2026

In the myth of Sisyphus, Sisyphus angers Zeus & cheats death several times, earning himself an eternal & particularly poignant punishment in the underworld to endlessly & futilely roll a huge boulder up a steep hill, only to have it roll back down each time. In this interpretation of the tale, what if sisyphus is not one entity, but rather it is a special garden in hell where we all get our own boulder to play with till times end?
