This work has two sides—light and dark. Sophia embodies humanity, freed from the chains of deadly addictions, particularly alcohol and drugs in general. Handcuffs—rings from beer cans—falling from her hands. Seven chakras - seven virtues. Forgiveness—a crowd of sinners, sunflower seeds, find God, a persimmon. Above—faith, purity, love, hope, generosity, and selflessness. A bird feeding its chicks with its own blood symbolizes selflessness; it is in Sophia's upper wing. The main message - each virtue is embodied by the food associated with. For example, apples—love, plums—selflessness, and so on. In this work, I demonstrate what I understand by "you are what you eat."
Lucifer symbolizes the seven deadly sins. Below, wrath is embodied by an army of warrior sunflower seeds, than fornication is represented by a red-light district . Higher gluttony, vanity: skulls are measured with compasses. And so on.
