Beautiful work.
The flowing line movement of her hair compliments the serpent's movement.
The colors are very interesting in that it adds a certain mysterious quality to the work.
The expression of her face tells a lot about her.
She can have apprehension, or she can have an essence of anger. that is depicted in her eyes.
Very nice work.

"Entwined" is an interesting pic that depicts the beginning that led to the state of a fallen world. It's interesting how the snake seemed to have started working it's way to her head. In many ways, she entertained the thought of picking the forbidden fruit, and that thought was what led to the very act of her disobedience. The entering of brown leaves in the midst of the green is a visual combination that shares about corruption. I also notice the slits over her eyes, as though it was cut open, watching from wounded eyes, as if to visually suggest she had self inflicted herself in her decision. For she indeed failed to uphold her faithful stance against anything that threatens to violate a simply regulation. For she had everything she ever needed and could have done anything she wanted. But the moment she gave into to the snake's offer, everything changed, and now the world had become a world filled with consequences. Every fleeting moment of bliss we have ever experienced here on Earth were a taste of the former things that may have or should have lasted forever. I think if Adam and Eve never ate that fruit, we probably be waking around the forest happily in our birthday suite. XD But as the title says' the world is indeed Entwined with death and decay. And what was supposed to last forever, had now become a fleeting moment, only visited by past memories. I also noticed what appeared to be two eyes in the background, perhaps a foggy gaze, in which may represent the beginning of losing sight of the paradise. As years goes by, we only have longings and feelings that perhaps there was so much more to life than what we see all around us, and indeed, we have fallen so far that we no longer have any knowing that life was supposed to be perfect. That was the original plan for us human beings. Eve, represents every women, compared to the beauty of the garden, where she was made from Adam's rib. Like the care of the garden, she was created to be desired for, to cherish, and to behold, and to be cared for and loved. She was the greatest gift for man. A great companion that in union of marriage, they become as one, hence the rib taken from Adam, when joined, he is made complete. Seriously, sex would have been allot better back then, and would have been a daily thing, with no loss of energy if you could imagine that. Eve is indeed the product of a lost garden. And with any hope, we may one day return to a perfect life.
Well that concludes my interpretation. Hope you enjoyed the read.
