עַל גְּחֹנְךָ תֵלֵךְ וְעָפָר תֹּאכַל כָּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ
al gechoncha telech, v'afar tochal kol yemei chayecha
"Upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat, all the days of your life."
Source: Genesis 3:14 · בראשית ג׳:י״ד: the curse of the serpent. Read as 3.14, it is also the opening of π; the letters ג and יד equal 3 and 14.
Under the ouroboros is Genesis 3:14 · בראשית ג׳:י״ד, where God curses the serpent. Inside the two loops I have set a ג and a יד, three and fourteen, so that the chapter and verse, 3:14, also spell the opening of pi, 3.14. Pi lives in every circle and its digits never resolve, and the serpent gives that endlessness a body to live in.
I do not read the curse as a break in the plan, a mistake God had to punish. The serpent was always going to be cursed; its sentence to the belly and the dust belongs to creation as surely as the ratio hidden in every circle. Pressed down to the ground, its body still traces something infinite. I have come to think limitation is not the opposite of eternity, but one of the shapes eternity takes when it wants to be seen.
