Original art: 🎨 THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT 📸 bodypainting
Hello, here I would like to share an artwork connected with a very old story. Forbidden fruit is a phrase from the Book of Genesis concerning the Garden of Eden, Adam & Eve, the snake, the human sin of being seduced, the tree of knowledge, the female weakness, and curiosity. All the elements of this biblical story have been topics of many fantasies and researchers. As a matter of fact, the fruit, if the story is not a myth might have been something else, not an apple.
The Garden of Eden was located somewhere in what is now known as the Middle East. The fruit could actually be a pomegranate, a beautiful tree, which can be found from Iraq to the Himalayas and cultivated since ancient times.
"The association of the pomegranate with knowledge of the underworld as provided in the Ancient Greek legend of Persephone may also have given rise to an association with knowledge of the otherworld, tying-in with knowledge that is forbidden to mortals."
