Wald created this work of art in empathy with his wife, Vera, during her pregnancy with their youngest child, Louis. It shows an arched Adam giving life to Eve from his body, which grows from the earth.

As if by an unknown command, Eve blossoms out of him - from his ribs – like a strange and beautiful flower unto which G-d has breathed the dew of life. In the sculpture, I have emphasised Eve’s hair to look like tendrils, trying to express with it the biological interdependence between sexes…’
