There were twin sisters who were separated at birth. Eve was adopted by a wealthy suburban family who adored her and showered her with love. Rosetta was not so lucky. She was placed in a foster home with parents who were in it for the money, who hit her and beat her until her tears ran dry. Yet despite her toxic upbringing, she never let her family problems seep into her schooling. She channeled her frustrations by working harder in school, and drowning herself in books to help her escape reality.
With a strange twist of fate, the sisters crossed each other’s paths one day. The poor sister had received a scholarship, which gave her a full pass through secondary studies. That is where she met Eve, and where they became friends. With time they grew close, and eventually inseparable.
But when they were 17, Eve began hanging with a new crowd. They exposed her to a new world, where she picked up their bad habits. Eve and Rosetta’s relationship began to change. Rosetta felt out of place because she could not relate to Eve’s world of luxury and mischief. She needed to take school seriously to survive. And with this tear, their friendship began to crumble. They were on different paths. And therefore had different fates awaiting them.
Ten years later, the sisters met once again. Rosetta had been dropping off some old clothes at a shelter when she saw Eve waiting in line. She looked the same yet so different, like a shell of her old self. She invited Eve to stay over at her place. Eve accepted.
At first Eve did not say much, for what was there to say? She could see her sister eying the marks on her arms and wrists. She was embarrassed, ashamed of the final memories she had of their relationship. But most of all, she was ashamed that Rosetta had made more money than she had ever dreamed of. That the two of them had exchanged fates and that she was now a shadow of her previous self. Yet Rosetta was kind, she let Eve stay as long as she needed to get back on her feet. She didn’t ask questions. You could tell that her support came from a good place.
One morning, Eve met Rosetta in the kitchen before she headed to work and handed her an apple. After Rosetta bit into it, she took a long look at Eve and knew that this would be her last. For their reconnection was never a coincidence. Eve no longer saw Rosetta as blood, she saw her as a means to an end.
Alter ego: Eve
A collection of 7 self-portraits by Alexxa Walker | Total of 49 photographs (7 for each sin) to be collected.
In this series, I reimagine the 7 deadly sins by creating 7 portraits that reflect my perceptions of self, while celebrating my culture, body and sexuality as a woman from the diaspora. The 7 deadly sins - pride, wrath, gluttony, sloth, lust, greed and envy - are believed to be the 7 vices that are at the heart of all immoral behavior.
The idea stems from the ongoing situation with Covid-19, where quarantine has forced the majority of the world to go under lockdown, with many people having to spend time alone and confront the deeper, darker parts of themselves.
This is also a moment where a global uprising for racial justice and representation is taking place. I grew up without being able to see women of color celebrated for their beauty, dynamism, and complexity. These photos are a tribute to all of the dark women that never saw their skin as enough.
