Atlas

Atlas in Greek mythology was a Titan who got punished by Zeus for rebellion against the gods and was doomed to hold up the celestial heavens for eternity. I am posing representing him. Combination of four pictures. My face expressions show disgust, madness and pain to escape. Wrapped myself in plastic to display asphyxia as a result of punishment, doomed to live like that. The background is the blue sky. Four figures attached next to each other with the middle one standing out and the rest, blurrier and more faded.
