“auruBOROS began with the ancient image of the ouroboros, but instead of keeping the serpent as a closed circle, we opened it and allowed it to enter the city. Its gold, reflective body moves through the High Line, absorbing buildings, vegetation, people, weather, light and sky into its surface. Although it appears monumental, the entire structure exists through air and is temporary. We were interested in that contradiction: something that looks precious and permanent but is actually light, fragile, and transient. For us, the work ultimately becomes less about the object itself and more about the temporary experience it creates, and the memory that remains after it disappears.”
