Grid of 84 archival prints of self-portraits, of 10×10 inch. The cycle of life revolves around birth, death and the eventual liberation from mortality to immortality. All forms of life depict the universal truth of continuation of life, existence and exaltation. This concept has always made me curious and I have attempted to understand it in my earlier series of work as well.
The Ouroboros — the serpent devouring its own tail — is one of the oldest symbols of cyclical existence. In this work, the self-portrait becomes a vehicle for exploring how identity, like the Ouroboros, is never fixed but constantly consumed and regenerated.
