This photomontage is based on a lesser known version of the creation myth. In that version, God creates both Adam and a female called Lilith, who rejects Adam and leaves Eden, refusing to come back. Adam asks God for another companion so God fashions a female from the earth but Adam is repulsed by this creation. So God puts Adam to sleep and removes his rib (or tail in some versions) and makes Eve. When Adam wakes, he’s impressed. And the rest is history.
