Ouroboros: The Eternal Cycle | Tommaso Moni
Time, dispersed across the universe, traces its origins to eternity.
The symbolic meaning of the Ouroboros represents the concepts of eternity, cyclicality, and rebirth.
The Ouroboros is depicted as a snake biting its own tail, with no beginning and no end, suggesting an eternal cycle—seemingly motionless but in continuous movement.
Physicist Max Planck hypothesised the existence of about twelve million dimensions parallel to our own. These alternative dimensions, which fall within the plane referred to as the Astral, represent a mode of being in nature’s immaterial realm.
Other scientists claim that our world and everything in it—snowflakes, maple trees, shooting stars, spinning electrons—are spectral images or projections from a distant reality beyond space and time. Thus, an infinite space beyond life may exist, not as death but as a series of eternal “Nows.”
Nature, for me, is a powerful activator of that eternal energy which binds me to the memory of the past and the infinite circularity of time, becoming a medium that revitalises and recreates life itself.
