Eve symbolizes the birth of life, the beginning of time and the life we live here on our incredible home we call Planet Earth. Synonymous with the Garden of Eden and one of my favourite paintings The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch. We are physical beings that are fortunate enough to experience all that Mother Nature has gifted us and Eve represents the immense beauty of our world of wonder.Starring Hedy Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, she was not only known as a the famous silver screen actor but was also an inventor and pioneer in the field of wireless communications.
The imagery within the collage begins with feathers and watch fobs wrapping Eve’s torso. Time is a human invention that does not exist, we only have the now, the feathers are a symbol of freedom to remind us to escape the constraints of time we have put upon us. As we begin to travel towards the top of the collage we notice that there are more animals and fauna at the bottom of the headdress and more humans towards the top. This represents the time-line of the evolutionary history of life
