About this artwork
This artwork represents the story of Narcissus, a figure in Greek mythology known for his exceptional beauty and a tragic story associated with self-love. According to the myth, Narcissus was a handsome young man who, upon seeing his reflection in a pool of water, became infatuated with his own image. He was so captivated by his own beauty that he couldn't tear himself away from the reflection, eventually pining away and transforming into a flower…
that bears his name, the narcissus flower or daffodil.
This myth is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about vanity and the dangers of excessive self-love. It has inspired various works of art, literature, and psychology, with the term "narcissism" being derived from Narcissus and used to describe excessive self-absorption or self-centeredness.
