I find this picture very interesting. It’s very sexual; not only for the obvious reasons (she’s half naked, in a thong and wearing five-inch heels) but for the details that make it so.
This displays the connection between the symbolism of snakes, sin, and one of the seven deadly sins, lust. The colors that are used are very intentional. The color black is sometimes considered to be an absence of light, which is why many people associate it with all things evil. Red is said to be the color of energy, vigor, passion and desire. Also, take notice of the blood dripping from where the snake emerges from her back. This is obviously painful and yet you see no trace of pain in her expression; it’s actually more of a come hither look. This is a good example of the saying “pleasure is pain” or “pain is pleasure.” The position she is in shows her flexibility which, flexibility, often equals sexy.
In advertising, visual, subliminal messages are often used. There are many ways to look at this abstractly. The position that she is in can be looked at as a tree, the Tree of Knowledge perhaps, with her arms and legs being roots and branches. Also, the shape of her derriere almost looks like an apple, as in, the forbidden apple/fruit that was so tempting to Adam and Eve.
