The girl and the passion fruit. Digital art and brief reflection

It is a mystery why certain elements come to acquire a symbolic value for us. There is, of course, a great, enormous, cultural charge: after all, things mean what they mean in the movement of societies and history. But there are elements, which, imbued with meaning, have a more personal meaning.
For me, the passion fruit flower is one of those elements.
The chroniclers of the Indies in the 16th century called the passion fruit the maracuyá because of an established relationship between its flowers and the Christian symbols of the passion and death of Jesus. At the same time, it is inevitable that another symbolic value has been attached: that of sexual passion. And both meanings can be summarized for me in one: the loss of innocence. Jesus discovers human loneliness in his passion and loses his innocence with the abandonment of the Father; the discovery of the sexual passion carries with it the childhood innocence.
I know that these senses must necessarily be in my drawing, but I do not know to what extent. I know, yes, that the girl in this drawing is heading for her future and will discover in time her own passions, abandonments and disappointments. Also, of course, her joys.
I leave, then, my drawing for you and the On Chain Art Community my thanks for hosting my publication.
