Feminine Mystique

Also known as Guardian Mystique, Feminine Mystique ties in conceptually with the 2 women of the Garden of Eden: Eve and Lillith and the evolution of women's hearts ever since. This picture portrays the 2 women in their respective "personality roles" showing the love lost, and the love scorned all in the same picture. Women are ruled by emotions; sometimes the lower based ones (Lillith) that turn women cold, numb and creul. Experiancing the pleasure and the pain within their heart till they become one and the same. Eve's happy disposition is represented by the gigantic women on each side of the forest walking through the oceans' abyss. Fate is also present within this picture for obvious reasons: weaving a web to inter connect everything to see which side of a woman they will choose. By having the forest (my representation of the garden of eden) descend into the sea, I was able to re-create and re-inforce the bond between a woman's heart (eden) and the depths of the emotions within them (bottomless ocean). Lots of symbolism in this creation.
