Adam's apple (2024) Escultura por Nazar Symotiuk

The Sin Inside series by Nazar Symotiuk appeals to the vulnerability of human souls as a result of the biblical original sin of Adam and Eve. In this story, one of the key roles is assigned to the trees of paradise: eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil resulted in the loss of eternal life.

Each of our choices always has consequences, and the most difficult question is how to make the right one in a perishable and horrific world. Human nature is weak and, in the pursuit of life in unity and harmony, it often attracts the opposite. It is noteworthy that the author chose wood as his medium for expressing his ideological and conceptual searches and insights. The sharp angles of the triangles that form the compositions of the works aggressively break into the space, attract attention and form labyrinths in the center of which there is the symbol of sin, an apple. The use of new formative approaches will mark a new milestone in the artist's work: meaningful, balanced and socially relevant in terms of its topic.

At the same time, global technological progress, the development of all spheres of science and art reinforces the idea of the impact of the original sin on all of humanity. We also strive to take a bite of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge: we sin, but we become who we are. Disappointed, confused, traumatized, but undefeated. These scars not only reflect the passage of time and events, but also embody human experience, history, originality, and uniqueness.

Everyone has a choice and own system of moral evaluation. The Sin Inside series is about the beauty of the human soul, which, despite the impermanence and temptation of the world around us, remains the supreme creation of God.
