I've tried to find the artist of the sculpture for a couple of years now, but I never came across a source that I could confirm. I had found the image online and edited it to be on the black background. I wish I could offer more information- the symbolism is amazing. The forbidden fruit...temptation..."knowledge" of sex and death.
I get it but the image repulses me. I don't mean that as criticism, just an honest reaction. Not unlike the time I saw the maplethorpe photo in the ny-moma of him w/ a bullwhip inserted in his ass. that one still makes me cringe w/ revulsion, and that was 25 years ago.

I can't speak for the artist, but I'd imagine they would intend for it to be uncomfortable.
