In this work, the image of Eve is moved from the familiar biblical narrative into the space of a fairy-tale and foreign world. She is not presented as being exiled as punishment, but as existing in a state of transition: a new territory opens before her, filled with unknown creatures, symbols, and rules. The garden surrounding her no longer looks like a lost paradise. It becomes a dense, unsettling, and at the same time alluring environment, where nature, animals, and fantastical characters act as guides into a new reality. Here, Eve does not simply leave her former world behind — she learns to exist among different cultural codes, fears, and temptations. The work speaks about migration as a fairy-tale, yet far from harmless, experience. Relocation becomes a journey through an unknown kingdom, where everything appears bright, strange, and almost magical, but demands inner strength, adaptation, and a readiness to define oneself anew.
