This collage is a talisman to Lilith, a character from a myth which is thought to be the story that comes before the Adam and Eve story. Lilith is Adam's first wife who ran away after she refused to lie beneath him. As he tries to dominate and suppress her power and rights as an individual, she ran to the middle east to live among monsters and in some recollections turns into a snake/monster herself. In many Renaissance paintings, she is depicted as a woman with red hair or a snake symbolizing her fiery temperament and treachery to patriarchy. In this collage her hair and snake skin are nailed down with her pureness of heart and intuition as she slithers across a map of an unknown land.
