In Ouroboros, Marc Mulders embodies the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The snake biting its own tail — one of the oldest mythical symbols — takes on a tangible, ceramic form in his hands. A mirror embedded within the serpent’s body draws the viewer into this endless loop.
The work is both earthly and spiritual: the clay and glaze evoke the elements of earth, water, fire, and air, while the reflective surface invites contemplation. Ouroboros encapsulates the ongoing transformation at the heart of Mulders’ oeuvre — a ritual object where matter and mysticism converge.
