Swan Devouring her Sun

Ouroboros, assuming the role of Saturn, or in this context, Swan, her creative alter ego. Swan is portrayed voraciously consuming a diminished version of herself, embodying a profound and unsettling narrative.

The piece elicits ominous and apprehensive emotions as observers are confronted with the grotesque act of self-devouring—or, in this instance, Swan's Sun. The artwork prompts contemplation of a surreal realm where one possesses the capacity to consume their own life- giving energy source, inviting reflection on the implications of such a disturbing scenario.
