Uroboros (Ouroboros)

The artwork showcases two serpents devouring their own tails, a scene famously known as Ouroboros (Uroboros). This timeless symbol originates from ancient Greek roots: "oura," meaning "tail" and "boros," signifying "eating." Together they form the phrase "he who consumes his tail." The sculpture embodies the cyclical nature of existence, where birth emerges from decay and life springs forth from death. By consuming its own tail, the Ouroboros perpetuates its existence within an eternal cycle of rebirth and regeneration.
