JARRED OUROBOROS

︎ ︎
   

The Ouroboros is a symbol of infinite renewal and has been used to represent Earth System feedback loops. These loops, such as Ice Albedo Feedback, can't be stopped by humans once activated. In light of this, I considered creating an Ouroboros form. I settled on using specimen snakes and creating jarred Ouroboros as a gesture to the regularity we are studying feedback loops now the same as any museum specimen.
