Excessive thinking can lead not only to perfectionism but also to narcissism. During a time when I was consumed by perfectionism, I was reminded of the myth of Narcissus from Greek mythology. In the myth, Narcissus' narcissism goes beyond simple self-love, evolving into an obsessive perfectionism that ultimately leads to his self-destruction. Initially, his image is just alluring, but as unrealistic expectations and pressures about his identity build, he begins to crumble. Through three symbolic scenes, this work conveys a warning about how destructive excessive perfectionism can be.
