OUROBOROS

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. While first emerging in Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. mrsimonsmith.co.uk art-war-entertainment.com WRITER & DIRECTOR - SIMON SMITH FEATURING - MY BAD SISTER CINEMATOGRAPHY - STEVE CORNACCHIA PRODUCTION MANAGER - FLISS CRUICKSHANK PRODUCERS - MIKE KOVACS & ALEX LEACH EXEC PRODUCERS - EMEKA ENE & ED FEILDEN
