It all comes back

JB Rock 2012/2012

Emergence
Giardini Naxos, Italy

The mural depicts a snake composed of hands that eats its own tail. The figure is closed with a pointed finger in the mouth of the animal. It's a representation between mythology and iconography, this millennial animal plays a meaningful role in the history of figurative of many - if not all - civilization, as well as in the imagination of each individual. This wall tends to stimulate the idea of passing time, the time that welcomes us, that hosts us and rules over us: time outside ourselves - the eternal return of time.
