Being raised in a Christian household I grew up not being able to relate to the images I saw of Biblical figures, specifically the images I saw of Adam and Eve. The idea of a black Adam and Eve once sounded too far fetched for me because so dominant is the Western representation of these biblical figures that I grew up thinking that the authentic representation of these figures was the one that followed the Western pictorial tradition and I was wrong.With this series I pose as Adam myself with the intention to explore the idea of self-representation as I grew up not really seeing any representations of Adam and Eve that looked like me.
