The death of the Garden of Eden

It is an ironic and critical reinterpretation of the myth of Adam and Eve, immersed in the context of modern society. In this vision, Adam and Eve, humanity's first two people, are not busy cultivating life, but lost in scrolling the feed of their smartphones. This seemingly banal scene is set in a Garden of Eden which, instead of being lush and fertile, appears desolate and ruined, a symbol of a future that never was. 
The work conveys a sense of alienation and isolation, a reflection on social disconnection and the loneliness hidden behind virtual connection. A powerful message about how technology can not only distract from human interaction, but also halt the very progress of life.
