This monotype is an interpretation of the temptation and original sin described in Genesis. The Phoenician writing that appears beneath the image says, "Adam and Eve and the Temptation. A tree and the serpent. Perhaps an image of the medulla spinalis. Partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The fall. Supplanting the instinctive with the rational and logical. The root of the tree is the brain. Marking the rise of the mind which sees us as separate, when in fact we are all one."
