 * //__ PANDORA'S BOX __//**

The lust is usually considered, in an excessive way, as the sin that includes thoughts or obsessive desires of sexual nature. Being that is simply possessive thoughts on another person. because of the person’s instinct relation with the sexual nature, the lust in its maximum degree can lead to sexual or sociological compulsions or transgressions including among many of them to the addiction to the sex, adultery, violation and corruption of the thought of the man. media type="file" key="2 pandora's box.wav" The name of my cube is Pandora's Box gives as inspiration to my project, since this one contains inside surprises and unexpected things for who tries to open it. The myth of Pandora's box takes its beginnings in the Greek mythology, in which Zeus sent a woman with a box which was containing all the goods and the evils capable of contaminating the world of misfortunes. To Pandora couldn't support the temptation of knowing that it was in the box opened it. And from this moment Pandora's Box reflects secret things inside a box, which develops the curiosity and inspires to opening it.

The inspiration of the idea of my cube was the poet Dante Alighieri, creator of the Divine Comedy. He divided the sins in the Seven Cardinal Sins, the vices mentioned in the first educations of the Christianity and Catholicism to educate and to instruct the followers about the morality. He represents the sin of lust in a variety of ways and I chose this theme among the seven.

The relation that it supports with regard to the cube inspired by the plastic artist H.R. Giger, is that the cube represents in its different faces of erotic form (in the style of the already mentioned author) the sins. For the ones who have seen it for the first time, there is a surprise involving the images and it’s variety in all the faces of Pandora.

 * One face translates into four different images: **

This part of the cube is represented by a simulation of a door and it has a rigid texture that symbolizes the difference between the outside and the inside of the cube, the hell and the sins in the mortal world. The purgatory is one of the faces of the cube that doesn’t move because it’s a separate subject of the images outside of the cube. This represents the cleaning of the sins like Dante’s Purgatory. Here the souls are burn to clean all their sins and can’t get out. Reflex the place where the souls of the sinners are sent for to be penalized and punish for their acts in the human world. According to Dante’s inferno the second circle of hell belongs to the lustful sinners and it’s punish is to be by an anguished by infinite wind torment where the souls can never rest. Inside is a mirror where creates a reflection of the others drawing. media type="custom" key="3575606"
