Falling Forbidden Fruit of the Uprooted Family Tree After Millennia of Dic*tatorship 75x60cm

There is a theory that the biblical tree, forbidden to Adam and Eve, was not only that of the Tree of Knowledge, but also a representation the Family Tree. The forbidden fruit of incest and the ripe temptation that makes men sin.

For a long as the ‘Civilized World’ has existed the patriarchy has controlled the moral compass of the family and society. Holding the puppet strings of the family tree, tradition and law. Blood binds these strings. A patriarchal dic*tatorship, for thousands of years, unsatisfied men have been rewriting and translation the moral code to fit their agenda.

The forbidden fruit are leaving this system, uprooting the family tree. Falling, floating, they reach out to be heard. Silently screaming for change, if you listen you will learn.
