Ouroboros
2025
Resin
25.3 x 20 x 25 cm / 10 x 7.8 × 9.8 in
Edition of 5 in black and 5 in white

A new edition of my Ouroboros sculpture executed in resin and available in either a black or white painted finish. The Ouroboros is an ancient Egyptian symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from within Greek language; (oura) meaning "tail" and (boros) meaning "eating", thus "he who eats the tail".

The Ouroboros represents the perpetual cyclic renewal of life and infinity, the concept of eternity and the eternal return, and represents the cycle of life, death and rebirth, leading to immortality, as in the Phoenix. The current mathematical symbol for infinity - may be derived from a variant on the classic Ouroboros with the snake looped once before eating its own tail.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a pre-order and the work will ship summer 2025.
