Rebirth

dry season Costa Rica 2020, black ink in watercolor sketchbook

These threadlike snakes cracking out of the egg are symbolic of spiritual rebirth that occurs multiple times for some. Snakes are left to their own defenses at birth, not having the support of their mother to help them eat or protect them. The snake represents the most vulnerable type of rebirth and one that is necessary to experience if one is to become truly self sufficient.
