The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) has unveiled its newest and most expensive artwork, Ouroboros, in Canberra.

The 13-tonne, $14 million sculpture by Chinese-Australian artist Lindy Lee is inspired by the ancient symbol of a snake swallowing its own tail, representing cycles of birth, death, and renewal.
