English term or phrase: reinstated
reinstated apple
«The Reinstated Apple is a major emblem of the reconciliation between nature and artifice represented by the new myth of the Third Paradise. According to tradition, the bite out of the apple represents man’s detachment from nature. The Reinstated Apple, on the other hand, is a symbol of a re-conjunction of the artificial and natural spheres. Wool, which in this work gives shape to the apple, is a continually renewable natural element, it is the undressing of an animal to dress humans – to the benefit of both».

Woollen – The reinstated apple is a work created in 2007 by Pistoletto for the Zegna Foundation. It represents the emblem of the Third Paradise, the symbol of the rejoining between the artificial sphere and the natural sphere.

TRANSFORMATION ON SHOWThe dialog between enterprise and art enriches Casa Zegna with Woollen - La Mela Reintegrata, a workby Michelangelo Pistoletto and Mosaico della Trasformazione, by Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto.Woollen – La Mela Reintegrata is a major emblem of the reconciliation between nature and artificerepresented by the new myth of the Third Paradise. The Second Paradise, that of artifice, has come toprevail over the First Paradise, that of nature, and is producing a progressively worsening state ofdegradation. A new conscience is needed if we are to transform the damaging side of progress into anew form of coexistence between man and nature.According to tradition, the bite out of the apple represents man’s detachment from nature. The“Reinstated Apple”, on the other hand, is a symbol of a re-conjunction of the artificial and naturalspheres.Wool, which in this work gives shape to the apple, is a continually renewable natural element, it is theundressing of an animal to dress humans – to the benefit of both.Woollen – La Mela Reintegrata invites reflection as a principle applicable to all spheres of production,whether intellectual or material, and with a view to “responsible social transformation” (MichelangeloPistoletto).

回复 -> 恢复 restoration?

What does the apple symbolise? Is it The Fall (Garden of Eden) or something else? It seems to be something else ... some kind of 'middle way' or 'mean' ...(?)
