About
Rising from the playa, The Serpent forms a living Axis Mundi—a luminous bridge between earth, sky, and the unseen worlds between. At its core, a radiant spine of light pulses and breathes in response to the presence of participants, revealing that the energy of the city itself animates the work. Ascending toward the heavens while rooted in the dust, the Serpent embodies humanity's endless cycle of transformation—an eternal journey of becoming, where descent, ascent, and rebirth weave the story of our shared existence.
