The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. Originating in Egyptian iconography, it represents the cyclic nature of the universe: creation out of destruction, life out of death. Tommaso Moni’s work is inspired by the concept of the circularity of time.

Tommaso Moni: The symbolic meaning of ‘Ouroboros’ is the concept of eternity, cyclicity and rebirth. Ouroboros is a snake biting its tail with no beginning or end, suggesting an eternal cycle, seemingly motionless but in continuous movement. My work wants to represent this multitude of alternative dimensions of our lives. It falls within the plane referred to as the astral or a mode of being in the immaterial nature. Our world and everything contained, from snowflakes, maple trees, and shooting stars to spinning electrons, consists of spectral projections from a level of reality beyond space and time. There would thus exist an infinite space beyond life. Not death but a series of eternal nows. Nature is a powerful activator of energy that binds me to the memory of the past and the infinite circularity of time.
