The Wheel of Fortune
Cycles, karma, fate. Always moving, always changing.

This piece started as an observation of tension. I twisted the paper as tightly as I could, then spent about a week watching it slowly uncoil and settle into itself. The shape reminded me of a snake eating its own tail, as well as the cycles of tension and release ever present in the nervous system.
