In I heart, again my wife and protagonist Jina Khayyer carries a giant heart up a mountainside and back down again. It’s a reference to my wife’s love of Albert Camus’ 1942 essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. Based on the Greek legend of Sisyphus, who was condemned to roll a rock up a hill repeatedly, only to have it roll back down again once he got it to the top, Camus used the myth to embrace meaninglessness and absurdity and conclude that Sisyphus must be happy in his repetitive struggle. This idea is the bedrock of my own, and my wife’s, philosophical approach. In I heart, again Sisyphus’s rock becomes a heart in Khayyer’s hands, symbolising art and love, both of which must be endlessly practiced.
