  • Bird and Snake
  • Palladium on Japanese gampi
  • 2019

This complex union of snakes, with the shed skin of a skin, and a bird, with shadows of bird feathers, plays with the tattoos on his back. They reflect the importance of birds and snakes in mythologies of all cultures, particularly in the beliefs of ancient Egypt.
