August Rodin, Eve, 1881, Bronze, 68" x 25" x 30"

Think of the body as vessel for a moment. Is the body a container? Surely there are many organs, bones, muscles, etc. that are held within our own surface. There is also a wealth of emotions that we carry within us.

What feelings do you think Rodin is trying to portray in this sculpture of Eve? Is it possible that this figure is a vessel for the portrayal of emotion?
