Hush of Eve

BA Illustration graduate Valeria Rocca's final piece Hush of Eve is an Illustrated book  inspired by the story of Eve and The Garden of Eden. “This piece explores the dynamics and concept of the Garden of Eden. I saw myself in Eve, in her solitude, in her confinement in a garden, in her desire to escape, to go out and experience the world. I began to imagine and collect her thoughts, her desires, and her perplexities. I began to write as if it were a personal diary of what it feels like to be Eve.” “This work allowed me to analyse not only the dark side of loneliness but also its timeless beauty and its human side. Nature has a clear role in Eve’s life, it is the only reason for joy. Yet, somehow Eve makes a mistake, that is, she forgets nature’s role, so much so that she is willing to give up everything in order to take her freedom.”
