             The idea is that the snake is one's sin nature being tamed by Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). There are nine fruits on the tree. It's not about Eve from Genesis.

 

             The model is my good friend LauraKristen. This metallic dress is her TM (it’s actually gold in real life). She is the most original person I know….which is a good thing.

 

             I love working really big like this.
