"Nightmereden: Original Sin 2" extends the exploration of original sin initiated in the first work, while adopting an even more visceral and symbolically charged approach. This piece depicts the intimate entanglement between the serpent and the human body, where the serpent, both tempter and protector, seems to merge with the flesh in an oppressive and sensual dance. The erotic tension is palpable, yet it is immediately counterbalanced by an aura of latent threat.
The apples in the foreground, red and glossy, unmistakably evoke the forbidden fruit, a symbol of desire and knowledge, while their placement accentuates the carnal aspect of the image. The serpent, with its almost liquid scales, illustrates the fluidity and perpetual transformation of materials, a central element of the Fluid from Mind series.
