THE GARDEN OF DESIRE


2024 - BACHELOR’S THESIS
︎︎︎ A Photography book
︎︎︎ A Modern Interpretation of Adam and Eve
︎︎︎ Giving a new meaning to the temptation

For my bachelor’s thesis I explored the tale of Adam and Eve and with that the temptations of the modern world.

Throughout the book you can follow the story of Adam and Eve, using the original texts of the bible to guide you through it. And taking inspiration from painting and incorpated my models into them and into the story.
Like in the painting my models get covered up by flowers and leaves, in the first chapter, where Adam and Eve don’t feel shame about their nudity. In the last, they are aware of this and them my models cover themself.

Also making use of numbers with great importance within Christianity.
For example 3, for completeness.
Six models because six is the number for men and huminity. And seven desires for perfection.
