Title: Adam & Eve NY
– The Forbidden Fruit Reimagined
Adam & Eve NY is a contemporary retelling of the classic Genesis story — a modern fable about desire, temptation, and the illusion of power.
In this interpretation, the Garden of Eden has been replaced by the city that never sleeps: New York. The serpent no longer offers a fruit of knowledge but the lure of money and fame.
The woman reaches toward the apple tree, surrounded by the glowing skyline and the Statue of Liberty — icons of freedom and ambition. Yet beneath the glitter lies the same timeless truth: temptation comes disguised as opportunity.
The serpent’s scales shimmer in colors of commerce and seduction, coiled around a tree rooted in both faith and fantasy. The peacock, a symbol of beauty and pride, stands watch — representing the allure of wealth, vanity, and the desire to be seen.
This piece asks a universal question: What is the modern forbidden fruit, and how far will we go to taste it?
