SAAHA in collaboration with LALA and DOF present Ouroboros, which is one of the purchased proposals in the open international competition for the new Viking Ship Museum in Bygdøy, Oslo.
«Ouroboros originates from the Greek words of Oura for 'tail' and Boros for 'devour', which is an ancient circular symbol depicting a snake or dragon devouring its tail, standing for infinity or wholeness. This holds a variety of widespread interpretations and meanings as a figure representing an "all-in-all," totality of existence, wholeness, infinity, eternity, a cosmic cyclical nature, immortality, rebirth and the continuous renewal of life, the end as the beginning. In Norse mythology it refers to the World Serpent winding around Midgard by biting itself in the tail, embracing the world in the ocean's abyss.
