A new take on Adam and Eve?

Well, actually yes. Originally I wanted to use a worm as the parasite. But I didn’t find any pictures of a worm in my photos, and then, the next best thing was a snake. Therefore I got the idea to mix in some creation myths with my original idea.

There’s an old riddle I remember from childhood: What’s worse than finding a worm in an apple? The answer is “half a worm,” the implication being that you’ve just eaten the other half.

As snakes shed their skin through sloughing…some say they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing…a symbol of eternity and continual renewal of life…seems so fitting to me with what you have created Rabirius 🤓😎🤍🕊sending joy hedy

I guess snakes are seen differently in different cultures. It would be interesting to explore that a bit more.

Interesting, but I find the twist painful. Your work always moves me one way or another. I liked Hedy’s take on shedding the skin. In any case, to be moved is to live.
Happy Holidays Dear Sir.
