For this piece, the class assignment was to create a cover and theme for the New Yorker Magazine. For mine, I wanted to tackle the struggles of femininity, and what it means to identify as a woman. I chose to depict the icon of Lilith, who in some biblical texts was considered the first wife of Adam. However, she was cast out of the Garden for claiming that she and Adam were equal. Being treated fairly earned her the title of "Mother of Demons", which is why I placed the serpent wrapped protectively around her wide hips. To some, she is also considered the one to have given Eve the apple.
