Description: Besides creating something alienating, I also wanted to give it a feeling of luxury and decadence. Assembled as a modern still life with little hints to the Hellenistic era, presented as a partly living statue. The tangling bodies are accompanied with poisonous flowers, and several elements of wealth. They’re intertwined with a snake, symbol of sexuality, eternity, and in this case death. A glance into a world  filled with somewhat forbidden fruits of sexual desire.
