This powerful conceptual artwork captures the essence of Aristotle, one of the greatest philosophers in history, shedding tears. The bust of this renowned Ancient Greek philosopher is depicted against a striking red background, emphasizing his sorrow and grief. Aristotle's tears could symbolize profound mourning for the loss of those he held dear. Throughout his life, he experienced immense heartache as he witnessed the deaths of his predecessors Socrates and Plato, both influential figures in philosophy.
