An ongoing project.
Ouroboros is a series of self-portraits exploring the cyclical nature of identity and transformation. Inspired by the ancient symbol of a snake consuming its own tail, the project reflects on the ways our past, present, and future selves continuously feed into one another, shaping who we become.
The series begins with a self-portrait in which I am “consuming” my passport photo taken seven years ago — a time when I lived in another country and worked a corporate job. Today, as a photographer, I embody the process of shedding and reinventing the self. This image sets the tone for the entire series, introducing themes of continuity, renewal, and the inescapable loop of personal evolution.
Alongside contemporary self-portraits, the series includes one archival photograph — my first passport photo, taken at 16. This image represents a pivotal moment, the threshold between childhood and adulthood, when our sense of self begins to fracture and reform.
Through these images, Ouroboros becomes a visual dialogue across time, a meditation on the lives we have lived, the versions of ourselves we have left behind, and those still waiting to emerge. It invites viewers to reflect on their own cycles of change and the infinite selves that exist within them.
