APPLE TREE (2023) 绘画 由 Alla Grande

The artwork depicts two women (a reference to Eve) under an apple tree with a snake while holding Apple laptops. The light of the setting sun gently filters through the leaves, bathing the scene in a warm, golden glow. The Eves appear relaxed and happy, as if they have lost track of time, in this perfect harmony of nature and community. To understand the symbolism of this image, one can look at different levels of interpretation.

In Christian tradition, the apple tree in the Garden of Eden and the snake represent the Fall of Man. The snake seduced Eve to eat an apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which led to her expulsion from paradise. Here, the snake symbolizes a temptation or forbidden wisdom.

The laptops represent modern seduction and dependence on technology.

The image points to the symbiosis of tradition and modernity, how they are intertwined. The seduction by knowledge (formerly symbolized by the apple, now by technology) remains a constant human experience.

The depiction of women with laptops points to the increasing presence and influence of women in the tech industry. This also symbolizes emancipation and empowerment through knowledge and technology.
The juxtaposition of traditional seduction by the snake and modern seduction by technology points to the enduring power of temptations that can have both positive and negative effects.

In summary, the image could represent a critical and reflexive consideration of the relationship between humans, knowledge, seduction and technology. It combines ancient myths with current issues and asks the viewer to think about the consequences of modern dependence on technology and knowledge.
