Oorsprong van die dood

Adam and Eve stand hidden among the dense leaves of Eden, their faces lifted in fear and shame after their disobedience. The garden that once surrounded them with peace now becomes a place of hiding, and their uncovered vulnerability reveals the spiritual rupture brought by sin. Their startled expressions and protective gestures portray the moment described in Genesis 3, when the first man and woman heard the voice of the Lord God in the garden and withdrew from His presence.

This artwork reflects the biblical doctrine of the Fall: sin does not merely break a command; it separates humanity from intimate fellowship with God. The scene is useful for teaching on original sin, repentance, shame, accountability, and the need for redemption that unfolds throughout Scripture.
