LOSS OF INNOCENCE

This charcoal drawing reimagines Adam and Eve in the first moments after the fall. They are not ashamed of their bodies, but instead cover their faces — hiding not from nakedness, but from the weight of what they do not yet understand.

Their posture is childlike, vulnerable, and uncertain. Shame has entered, but it has not fully formed. Fear has awakened, but they cannot yet name it. They stand together in confusion, exposed emotionally more than physically, caught in the painful moment between innocence and awareness.
