Description This piece is part of the MFA exhibition "Reclaiming Eden". It is accompanied by a poem by the artist (modified for formatting), named "The Veil": "In the beginning; was the promise of Eden; a garden, a sanctuary; but paradise comes at a price. A sinister whisper; rustles tender leaves; tangles my limbs; clouds my mind. My actions; betray my conscience; a will ensnared; not truly mine. I am entombed; in the Serpent's embrace."
