The serpent arrives as a question, coiled in a garden where nothing grows the way we remember. Around it, beasts gather—a ram with open mouth, a raven blue as midnight, a pale woman rising from the underworld with her arms lifted toward a sky she cannot reach.
Đurović paints this square canvas as a single breath held too long. Stone, feather, scale, and flesh share the same pigment. Everything here belongs to the same dream, the same memory, the same old story told in a language older than words.
The serpent waits at the centre, patient as all beginnings, silent as all endings.
