Eve Sin Pins and Buttons
Description: Eve is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as she was the first woman created by God. She was created from Adam's rib to be both his wife and companion. Unfortunately, however, she would eventually unwittingly succumb to the Serpent's temptation and eat the forbidden fruit from off the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve shares the fruit with her husband, and as a result, the first humans are cursed and expelled from the Garden of Eden by God forever for their disobedience.
Description: A haunting reinterpretation of Adam and Eve at the moment of temptation, rendered in a bold, macabre linocut style. Adam reaches towards the forbidden fruit as Eve presents the crimson apple, entwined by a striking blue serpent. Their skull-like faces introduce a disturbing paradox: death is already present before the Fall has occurred. Drawing on the idea that time may be a construct of perception, the illustration brings innocence, temptation and mortality into a single moment. Golden and ivory figures, dramatic black silhouettes and a restrained palette transform this biblical scene into a powerful meditation on existence beyond chronological time.
Description: Lilith is a character in Jewish mythology found earliest in the Babylonian Talmud, and is generally thought to be related to a class of female demons. In Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as he was. Lilith abandoned both her husband and marriage after refusing to become subservient to Adam. She was subsequently cursed by God for her disobedience when she would not return to the Garden of Eden after an affair with the archangel, Samael.
