Drawing On Greek Myths As Inspiration For Illustrating Life During The Pandemic

Narcissus stares a little too long at his reflection during a video call. Stuck at home, Medusa tries to cut her own unruly curls.

In his series Greek Quarantology, illustrator Jonathan Muroya recasts Greek gods and myths to creatively capture aspects of life during the pandemic.

The series started as an assignment during Muroya's last semester at the Rhode Island School of Design this spring. The prompt was to create an illustrated series that relates to the world amid the coronavirus, similar to the New York Times Opinion series, Art in Isolation.

Muroya says he asked himself three questions as he brainstormed ideas: What are people doing in quarantine? What are Greek characters known to do? Where can those two overlap?

Tantalus reaching for last roll of toilet paper — just out his grasp — feels relatable after several months of pandemic life. Even muscle-bound Hercules uses exercise videos to stay fit in quarantine.

"Probably at my worst times I'm Jason on the couch in his golden fleece watching TV," Muroya says. "Probably at my best, maybe Persephone, just wanting to be outside." More from Greek Quarantology here: https://workingnotworking.com/projects/226909-greek-quarantology

Yoshihide Muroya, pilota del Team Falken, ha conquistato la seconda vittoria consecutiva alla terza gara del Red Bull Air Race 2017, che è stata organizzata al Makuhari Seaside Park, in Giappone, il 3-4 giugno scorsi.

Al Campionato del Mondo Red Bull Air Race partecipano i migliori piloti acrobatici in una competizione che combina velocità, precisione e abilità. Utilizzando i più veloci, agili e leggeri aerei da corsa, i piloti raggiungono velocità di 370km/h e 10G di accelerazione gravitazionale, passando attraverso un percorso tra piloni aerostatici a 25 metri di altezza.

Falken sponsorizza Muroya, unico pilota asiatico del lotto, dal 2015, avendo riconosciuto la forte compatibilità tra questo asso del cielo e la propria immagine di marca.
