I have always been fascinated infinity,and I like to drew the snake,that is a symbol of infinity. The year of 2013 is the year of the snake in the Chinese astrological calendar. That is the reason that I participate this year.

I described Ouroboros.
A snake eats another.After that another bigger one eats it...and after that...what will happen the end of eating each other?
Just one snake must have survived.
Where have others gone?
Look at inside the stomach of the last snake.You can see the cosmos.They eat each other and procreate sometimes as always.It has continued.
This is a graphic of "inside the stomach of the last snake".
