The Ouroboros is typically depicted as the serpent or dragon chasing and/or consuming its own tail, and depending on the culture represents the eternal return, renewal, the cycle of life or death and rebirth, the quest for completion, the Anima Mundi, the snake in the corporeal and spiritual world, essence and substance, yin and yang, a double nature.
The Enso in Zen philosophy is a circular form, created with a singular, deliberate movement, the mind free to let the body create, enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, mu (the void), characterized by a minimialism born of Japanese aesthetics, perpetual incompletion, i.e. the pursuit of completion.
The Ensouroboros is a personal synthesis of these concepts that symbolically captures and serves as a reminder of my own perpetual ambition, continuous renewal, beginner's mind, and quest to continually build upon the Self.
My work explores concepts in the overlapping domains of architecture, design and art. My particular passion in architecture is in creating bespoke spatial experiences that inform the background and foreground of individual lives. I believe architecture is a design operation that can powerfully convey individual values, meaning and purpose in urban and building form, and I enjoy investigating how they may manifest in concept and in reality.
I maintain an ongoing parallel interest in the design of the individual - researching and integrating approaches to the design of the body (wellness), mind (philosophy), and the objects (design) that define and improve his world, including his built environment.
