Le Mythe de la Floraison

Ceramic

2020

This name is inspired by Albert Camus' essay "Le Mythe de Sisyphe," in which he describes humanity's struggle to find meaning in an absurd world. The flowers and plants in the vase symbolize how beauty and life continue to flourish despite the absurdity of existence, just as Sisyphus repeatedly pushes the stone up the hill. The name suggests a continuous, perhaps even absurd, yet beautiful effort to create beauty and life.
