The Garden of EDEN and the Founders of the Human Race. Light Installation Made of Blown Glass Molds

Summary/Abstract: The Bible parable at the beginning of the Pentateuch about the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (also known as „First-born Sin“) is deeply embedded in the collective notions of Judeo-Christian culture and beyond. This parable is highly archaic and has endured significant edits over the centuries. So; what has come to us is a heavily redesigned likeness of the „original“ version (rooted in Sumerian mythology). Here we will not touch on the textual or chronological contradictions that glisten from the first pages. Leaving aside the literal purpose of the parable in question (namely to serve as the main argument for removing women from power); what does it mean psychologically? Why is „eye opening“ considered something so „sinful“? Let‘s look at the collage of symbols; separately and together; andanalyze them. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil symbolizes the potential of the human mind for the birth of self-consciousness. Tree symbolizes the inner path of knowledge through which self-consciousness awakens. The serpent is the unconscious; primary integrity of the human mind; before self-consciousness is formed. The fruit expresses the symbolic unfolding of this psychological process of awareness; and Eve is the very consciousness of a potential that is already ripe to awaken for itself.
