Eden

A painting inspired by the story of the Garden of Eden—
and the way it has been told.

A narrative where curiosity became something to be ashamed of,
and where the feminine was often placed at the center of blame.

This piece shifts that perspective.

The woman here does not turn away from herself.

She embraces her sensuality,
her curiosity,
her desire to understand.

The snakes around her represent the fact that she dared to find deeper wisdom through their guidance—
a symbol of kundalini energy.

She bit into the apple, the “forbidden” fruit,
and discovered insight into the mysteries of creation.
