“Achilles, Come Down”

“Achilles, Come Down”

Pastel on Paper

24"x36"

A pastel drawing of Achillies

Description

A portrait of Achilles, fierce protector of all, and inspired by the song, “Achilles, Come Down” by Gang of Youths. The song portrays Achilles’ mental break after the death of Patroclus and his struggle to move on with life. To me this is a reflection of the grief felt by those the pandemic has affected.
