Imagine the new creature is created, surrounded by mystery, temptation and lies it enters the Dragon's Paradise only to become expelled. The fate of the first humans is captured in a mystical retelling whereby the serpent and the dragon merge, the fiery angels bar the way back and the first fruits are offered up in all the perplexing haze of myth. Inspired by Cranach, mythology and mystical retellings of the Biblical story this image crosses time and space sharing multiple moments and asking the view to ponder.
