In the breath of a vortex of rose petals Eva is born. Adam, prey to sleep, abandons himself to the embrace of a soft and vibrant grassy expanse, from her rib God creates the woman. In a balance of tension and sensuality, Eva's body captures our attention, becoming the co-protagonist of the work. Nature, perceiving the wonder of this creation, rejoices in a vibrant acclamation of leaves, while God's breath of life is accompanied by a graceful vortex of rose petals that floods the scene. The breath of life fills Eve's chest, her eyes open, her body comes to life and Eve in her first moments perceives Adam, grasping his arm with her left hand, but it is in the feet that we notice an important detail, a contrast between the two groups because if both the right-handed are "asleep", the left-handed are alive, representing a transition of before and after, when at the breath of God the jolt of life contracts Eve's foot on Adam's leg, this The last one, despite being dormant, senses its touch by contracting. Overall, the poses of the two figures, lying on this grassy surface, suggest their future union which will fill the void that now dominates the center of the composition.
