Camus' philosophical essay compares the absurdity of man's life with the Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology, who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again. The inspiration of the design came from a beautifully haunting reflection on life's absurdity and our futile search for meaning, unity and clarity.
