This dragon was a companion who went on adventures with me in those stories, like a talisman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOuroboros is an ancient symbolic motif. The Greek word means “one who eats its tail,” and it depicts a serpent or dragon holding its own tail to form a circle. It symbolizes eternity, the cycle of life, and rebirth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the rebirth represented by Ouroboros, I painted this work with the hope of evolving into a better self: not being trapped by painful past events or my flaws, but looking toward good experiences and my own strengths, as though shedding a skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[SOMSOC ART SHOW 2026]\u003cbr\u003eSOMSOC ART SHOW is an annual art event organized by SOMSOC GALLERY. It creates new encounters and exchanges through art, offering a place where everyone can engage freely with works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis year's theme is “One Artist, One Character.” Each artist condenses a character representing their current practice and worldview into one A4-sized work. Whether a figure, an abstract symbol, or an embodiment of the spirit, each character is a small universe reflecting the artist's aesthetic and ideas. Diverse expressions gather in Harajuku, where their individual worlds intersect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOMSOC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68106359046357,"sku":null,"price":88000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9348\/4245\/files\/5_56b2b1e2-6a12-419d-9996-4827a078ae09.png?v=1793950844","url":"https:\/\/somsoc.jp\/en\/products\/giselleaika-ouroboros","provider":"SOMSOC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
