Description:
Eve Celebrant, a part of a series of the same title, is a visually powerful image of the pre-biblical Eve, who with her arm extended offers a fruit of knowledge and abundance, and yet with her open palm seems to warn us. The strong African features of her face, her garment clinging to her body and revealing the full forms underneath, and her outwardly extended limbs all combine to create a beautiful, graceful, and larger than life female figure.
