Juliana Hyrri - Year of the snake

Year of the Snake embodies the theme of cyclicality, with figures that are both fleshy and fluid, their forms swaying in a delicate balance. A single outline separates the figure—caught in the suffocating embrace of a constricting serpent—from the surrounding background. This work also evokes the timeless anguish of the Laocoön Group, reinforcing the tension between struggle and inevitability.
