"In Sanskrit ananta has multiple meanings that work perfectly for this painting. Firstly it means endless, boundless, eternal and infinite. It also is the name of a plant root used in valuable medicines. The earthen root is prevalent throughout this piece, but there is also the snake-god Sesha right dab in the middle. What is the boundless snake-god? What snake is 125 billion miles long, that can circle the Earth 17 millions times? The answer is the combined DNA of your body." - Nielsen
