EDEN

Cohen Commons Lab
October 28 - November 18 2021
Cohen Commons Gallery
Exhibiting Artists:
Delaney Philip, Julie Fishbuam, Moe Haloftis and Cosette Gelinas
Our exhibition, “Eden”, conveys messages about identity, self- discovery, acceptance and reflection. All of the artworks contributed to the show are in some way a reflection of each individual artists’ personal identity and growth. The story of “Eden” is well known, which allows viewers to resonate with our works and correlate Eve as the fundamental character and identity of women. Since biblical times, women have been associated with inadequacy, which is further imposed upon women by societal pressures. “Eden” alludes to themes of human progression, sexuality, and temptations; Eve’s sin portrays a presumed weakness inherited by women. Our exhibition reflects themes of femininity as we begin to understand our identities and experience growth in our separate gardens of “Eden”.
