This work is a contemporary reinterpretation of the biblical story where the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual begin to dissolve.The poses of the figures express the fragility of human nature and the deep connection between man, woman and the world.Hands reaching toward the figures symbolize destiny, support and temptation, while the ornamental background forms a garden that seems to appear and disappear at the same time.The work invites the viewer to reflect: Do we care for our inner garden, or do we allow it to be destroyed?
