symbolism of the forbidden fruit, sexual and uninhibited by cultural norms.
The glass dome makes her an exhibit in a contemporary conceptual art piece.
On the wall, two portraits by Velasquez rather darkly dressed, austere and disapprovingly looking down on Eve.
The Piano acts as a plinth for Eve but it is also a joyous, sensual and spiritually uplifting instrument.
The books for learning and knowledge act as plinths for the ubiquitous burger and the glass of wine represents the fruits of your labours.
