This endless task symbolizes human perseverance and the absurdity of existence.Albert Camus, in his seminal work “The Myth of Sisyphus”(1942), explored how humans confront life's inherentmeaninglessness through art and existential rebellion. ForCamus, art becomes a means to assert existence and createpurpose amidst chaos. Artists, like Sisyphus, embody this struggle by persistently creating works that offer momentsof beauty and significance, despite their awareness of life's absurdity. The exhibition showcases artists who, throughtheir ceaseless efforts, reflect on universal human experiences and communicate across time, demonstrating art's rolein navigating and finding meaning in the repetitive and arduous aspects of life
