Eternal Spirals

A continuous line that wraps around a fixed point, without ever returning to itself: this is how dictionaries define it spiral. In reality, it is not just an element of geometry: the spiral it is a recurring form in nature and for this reason it is also found in many cultures, from arts to religions, with strong symbolic meanings. Since ancient times, in fact, it has been used to represent cyclicality, evolution, the movement of life and the connection between the human and the divine.
The symbolism associated with this form over the centuries arises from observation of the natural world. There are many examples, in the animal and vegetal kingdom: the petals of many flowers, such as roses, or the shells of molluscs often follow a spiral. This immediately made us think, since ancient times, of a connection between this curved line, wrapped around itself, and the manifestation of life as cycles of change and transformation.
