The Paradox
A surrealist reimagining of Sisyphus, where the traditional boulder is replaced by his own head, forming a monument to ego and consciousness. The work explores the internal incline, the psychological burden of consciousness and self-awareness, alongside the external ascent, his endless physical struggle up the cliff. As the distinction between climber and burden dissolves, the piece suggests that the true weight of his punishment lies not only in the eternal ascent, but in being condemned to carry his own mind forward indefinitely.

There is a specific gravity to awareness: the more the mind knows, the heavier the climb becomes. This is the paradox of the internal incline and the external ascent. While the body strains against a physical cliff, the spirit is crushed by a slope of its own making. The mountain is only as steep as the mind is heavy; the climb is only as long as the self is persistent.
In this loop of logic and stone, the climber and the weight become one. The summit is not a destination, but the moment the thinker finally accepts the gravity of his own truth.
