This line drawing reimagines the Ouroboros as an abstracted figure eight, the serpent’s head and tail meeting not at a single point but at the crossing center of the loop, so the eternal cycle of the original symbol is folded into a shape more commonly associated with balance and infinity itself. Where the traditional Ouroboros forms a closed circle, this composition doubles back on itself, suggesting not just a single unbroken cycle, but two, chasing and completing one another in a continuous, self-sustaining motion.

Executed as a highly detailed line drawing, the piece captures the serpent’s coiled, doubling path as a meditation on renewal and transformation, the idea that every ending folds quietly back into a beginning, an idea as old as the symbol itself.
