Forbidden Fruit Media Campaign

Eve✨—before and after the forbidden fruit.

This was the most exciting and exhilarating vision to bring to life. I searched forever to find any reference on the concept thinking this had to be something Tyra Banks did on ANTM. Nonetheless, I enacted exactly what I pictured in my mind, inspiration and moods ranging from Botticelli to Rihanna.

We found a gorgeous set of Venusian twins to play out the duality of the act itself. With Zeena Oraha being Eve “before” and Deena Oraha being Eve “after,” their piercing color changing eyes reflected our intricate designs and the luscious wonderland of the garden.

It wouldn’t be Salem’s Vision without a focus on the eyes. Grace Rabban hands enhanced our models eyes so beautifully to be captured through the lens by Chanel Daizi.

Thank you to the entire girl gang that came together on this project to showcase one of the Bible’s most famous women - Eve and the story of Genesis 3: the Forbidden Fruit.

Special thank you to Hayley Gappy for being a connector and co-facilitator. Very special thank you to Planterra Conservatory for allowing us to use their space to bring the garden back to life.

Without further adieu please enjoy a @bycbts (me) production of
