The piece remains untitled because its meaning has shifted for me over time, holding two
different interpretations from two different periods of my life.
The imagery of a white snake adorned with a pink bow, consuming its own tail, first came to me
in 2024 while I was creating Good Girl?¿ and questioning what it truly means to be “good.” At the time, I interpreted the image almost as a spiritual warning: there is no real freedom in acting
in sin, or with harmful, ill intention, because eventually, in one form or another, our wrong doings
come back to bite us. The truth has a way of coming to light, and the negative choices that
appear easiest or most enticing in the moment often leave us with consequences we must carry
later. We can rationalise our behaviour, convince ourselves that it is justified, or disguise
something destructive as liberation, while unknowingly participating in our own self-sabotage.
The snake eating its own tail is also an ancient symbol, Ouroboros, and is historically known to
represent rebirth, life and death, self creation and unity of life. When I finally brought this piece
to life it was at perfect timing when I was genuinely at a stage of feeling all shedding new layers
and evolving into a new version of myself. I completed it in December 2025, which was also a great way to finish off the year of the snake.
