Rhymes Final play – end –

“Adam & Eve  x Humpty Dumpty

final.”

after playing around with the compositions and images, i came up with these 4 images.  for the respective ine of the rhymes humpty dumpty.

each composition would have an accompanying line from the bible verse portraying that scene in the story of adam & eve.

rounding up the whole installation as a whole.

rhymes play – 2 – exploration phase

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Humpty Dumpty  X  Adam & Eve.

I decided to explore adam and eve in the context of humpty dumpty, where the unity and innocence at the dawn of human kind is depicted as a hypothetical circle.

“humpty dumpty sat on a wall”

this “circle” would then be broken when adam and eve eats the forbidden fruit, thus introducing sin to the world, breaking the innocence that was once there. this would then be porayed as the second line of the rhyme

“humpty dumpty had a great fall”

When god created animals, he gave them to adam to name, thus it can be accepted that adam is then the KING of all the animals, horses included

“all the kings horse and all the kinds men”

after the fruit was eaten, adam and eve were cast out of the garden of eden and henceforth forever attempt to put back the innocence that once was. but never ever be able to pot it back together again.

“couldnt put humpty together again”
