Eva 1991

"Eva" (1991) by Aleksandr Borodin (1959-2014) depicts a fragmented female figure, seemingly composed of plaster casts, holding a red apple. The figure is presented in profile, its face obscured by a white cloth. The work's deconstructed form, juxtaposed with the traditional symbol of the apple, alludes to themes of identity, perception, and the limitations of representation in the contemporary world. The work is a unique example of Borodin's surrealist style, where the boundaries between reality and the imagination are blurred, leaving the viewer to interpret the complex and nuanced message of the work.
