battle with the odalisque


i love david foster wallace's 'infinite jest.' one of my favourite parts is the description of the film about medusa fighting the odalisque, where a whole theater of people are slowly turned into stone or gems because they have the misfortune of watching this fight take place.

i wanted to depict what a classical fight (perseus vs medusa) would look like if the perseus in question was fighting wallace's odalisque instead. and losing.
