Mori, a multimedia artist who has worked in photography, video, and performance art, and as a former fashion designer and model, here takes her playful imagery to a new level of literalness. She bases this piece on her earlier life-size 3-D photographic image, which is accompanied by an audio CD. In both, she presents herself as a computer-fabricated pop star and explores the hybrid nature of individual identity and its relation to private fantasies and global culture.

Using her primary format of the black silhouette with traditional decorative elements, Walker here confronts African American, historical, and female stereotypes with Biblical allusion to Eve. In an image of anguish, slavery in the antebellum South is referenced with a whip, while the serpent is held off by a stranglehold.
