****The PRICE is for two paintings****
I've created this diptych to convey a perspective on the evolving dynamics of discrimination in our society. It's a reflection of the shifting power dynamics between genders, illustrating how women's influence is on the rise while men, in some contexts, may perceive a diminishing of their traditional roles and authority.

In the first panel, Adam holds a symbolic snake, representing perhaps the last semblance of traditional male power. This 'weapon' signifies the desire to hold onto a sense of control and authority in a changing world.

In the second panel, Eva is depicted holding an apple, a symbol often associated with temptation and the story of the Garden of Eden. Her act of seduction may be seen as a metaphor for the allure of societal changes and the redefinition of gender roles. The scars on her breasts represent the choices she has made, possibly symbolizing the struggles and sacrifices that women have historically faced in their pursuit of autonomy and equality.

This diptych raises questions about the ongoing dialogue around gender equality, power dynamics, and individual agency, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex and evolving nature of these issues in our modern world.
