Snakes in the Garden

Artist

Kale Vandenbroek

Description

Exploring the complex interplay between religion and personal identity, this piece weaves biblical narratives into a tapestry of symbolism. Snakes slither through the image, embodying sinister forces that prey on innocence and perpetuate ideological control. The fig leaf, a means of censorship in religious art, becomes a motif for concealment and revelation. Through this work, I confront my vulnerability to external influences, predatory advances, and ingrained ideologies.
