“in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni”
“We wander in darkness, consumed by fire.”
This series of three works takes its name from the famous Latin palindrome.
“The immortals are mortal, the mortals immortal, each living in the other's death and dying in the other's life. Concerning a circle the beginning and end are the same. Good and evil are one and it is the same thing in us that is quick and dead, awake and asleep, young and old; the former are shifted and become the latter, and the latter in turn are shifted and become the former. The way up and the way down is one and the same ‘’
-Heraclitus
The entire universe came into existence from fire and will be destroyed by fire. And this process will repeat endlessly, reminiscent of Nietzsche's theory of eternal return, perhaps another creature will write this text, or even anything we can imagine will happen , only to be repeated again.
