"Atlas" captures ideas of societal pressures and individual responsibility, drawing inspiration from the ancient titan Atlas, known in Greek mythology for his immense burden of holding up the heavens. The piece portrays a central figure symbolizing both society and the individual amidst various objects, highlighting modern struggles with identity, tradition, and societal burdens. The mask on the figure emphasizes the tension between societal expectations and true self. Juxtaposed elements hint at migration and cultural blend. Feros's work is a reminder of human resilience and our ability to endure, urging introspection about personal burdens and the balance between authenticity and societal demands.
