POEM "And he gazed upon his reflection He fell in love It became an obsession He saw no flaw The Gods were then jealous They placed a curse Condemned to forget his wants And starve forevermore" This is my sophomore artwork which I am glad to present after months of contemplation. As some of you might know the story of Narcissus, he was condemned by the gods to stare at his reflection forever without a thought to his basic needs as a human. I chose to make this an animation over 3 frames which denotes the days and nights Narcissus spent poring and fawning over himself. The mirror on the grass represents a tool that amplifies our tendencies towards self adoration and vanity. I hope this speaks to you as it did to me. Your comments and shares are highly appreciated. Thank you. Photographed by Kris. Co-edited by Kris and Nirvan. Peom by Nirvan.
