Cobra
Cobra is the most profound of all my works. It began with the symbol of infinity, painted in shades of brown and yellow, inspired by the Uraeus -the mystical cobra of ancient Egypt. To the Egyptians, the cobra embodied infinity, closely tied to concepts of eternity, cycles, and the boundless nature of the universe. The second layer introduced a veil of rich red tones, forming the cobra's skin. Then, almost as if it emerged from the canvas itself, the final cobra appeared in vibrant green. It did not form a closed circle but instead stretched and tore apart, revealing how disconnected and unaware we often are.
