Abstract

The separation and alienation inherent in human existence generate a gap that is both unbearable and insurmountable. This void fuels the creative process, compelling individuals to construct meaning despite the inherent impossibility of complete resolution. The myth of Sisyphus serves as an apt metaphor for this cycle of desire and creativity, reflecting the ongoing tension that sustains human life.
