Observation
Reaching out to feel the spark of life from the touch of the Creator once again, but alas, none is felt. Has God abandoned him, the one whom He has made in His image?
Replies by this mask
- Long-caged bird, finally free, torn between the comfort of the family nest and taking its first flight. Surely bound to fall yet as you noted, there is beauty in the struggle of self-discovery and learning as well as growing through mistakes.
- The vines are our Adam's birdcage bars, restricting him from leaving the safety of the place he's called home. However if he extricates himself and discovers the jungle below, his fall may be more than just literal.
- Up high extending his hand towards the divine, pure and innocent, he does not need to wear another face. If he falls to the jungle floor, that will change.
Revision
Adam must choose faith in his unseen Creator over temptation or fall to depravity, hiding the shame of his sin behind a mask.
