I enjoyed being able to adapt Eve in this way, although I still do not agree with C.S. Lewis’ interpretation and, by extent, the portrait of Eve I depicted. Through my adaptation I leaned into this idea of Eve being in control of Adam's actions ever since her Fall (blending with Adam’s “uxoriousness”) and this kind of grim determination that propels her to pull Adam down with her. However, with this, I chose to lose the idea of Eve that is truly in love with and cares for Adam. I believe, unlike Lewis, that Eve’s only so called crime here was to fear being alone. In a world where Eden is possible and yet instead you are suddenly faced with the prospect of eternal sin with no one to fight by your side I find that fear to be very very rational. In the end, Adam made his own decisions (even if they were ‘uxorious’) and he and Eve enter their new world hand in hand, still by each other’s side. Despite both this photograph and C.S. Lewis, I do not believe that is a sin.
Thank you to my mother for being such a patient Adam (i.e. cadaver).
