UROBORUS 'eternal return' Life, by nature, is cyclical. To deny or ignore our past is to sentence the human race to ignorance. To forget the past we inevitably deny ourselves the best of what the future could be. According to Mayan and Aztec history, human civilization has risen and fallen four times, with each fall, mankind loses all he has gained and begins again, from the beginning. Some believe this is a cycle we are doomed to repeat, perhaps we are destined to such a fate. Picture a time, far into the future, or perhaps it is the distant past, maybe the past and future are the same place, not even the subjects captured here in these works know for sure. These men and women belong to a time outside our own. They have the same hopes, fears and tragic flaws we all possess. They also hide many secrets. Some are willing to tell their tales, others closely guard their mysteries. And some have a unique perspective of our world. The world in which they live has a rich history that is corrupted and incomplete. Their future uncertain, they seek the guidance of prophets and mystics to enlighten their path and perhaps make sense of their world and the universe in which it lives. |
not only for me, but for those characters within the Uroborus universe. Here are two new portraits of Persephone and Serendipity. (click the thumbnails for a better look.) |
