"Ouroboros" draws on the ancient symbol of the serpent consuming its own tail—a figure of death, rebirth, and endless renewal. It is a portrait of San Francisco, a city that continually reinvents itself through recurring cycles of ambition, from the Gold Rush to today's AI boom. Each era brings extraordinary growth and possibility, yet also brings pressures that reshape the lives of those already rooted here. The sculpted clouds reference the city's fog, while the vessel's textured surfaces echo the Pacific waves that surround it. A gold chain forms a subtle bridge across the piece, recalling the Golden Gate Bridge and linking past and future. a solitary baroque pearl alludes both to the Pacific ocean connecting sf to my Taiwanese heritage—broader histories of migration and exchange.
