alter echoes
-> A project by Shari Annabell Marks and Marie Zechiel


User:   alter echoes emerges as the latest collaborative work from photographer Shari Annabell Marks and Movement Director Marie Zechiel. The project stands as a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of identity, capturing the essence of individuality in a visually striking manner. Within four chapters, Shari and Marie fathom the essence of different personalities, each presented on a pedestal, much like statues exhibited in a museum.



OPULUXE epitomizes feminine allure and glamour. With innate sensuality and confidence, she is fully aware of her desires and the impact she has on others. Her meticulously curated appearance reflects her individuality, making a lasting impression. Opuluxe embodies sophistication, femininity, and unapologetic self-expression.



Enigma transcends gender, existing as a peculiar, shapeless entity that defies conventional categorization. Its perpetual weirdness challenges norms and invites curiosity, exploring the limitless possibilities of existence.





Heroica embodies the paradox of a relentless fighter scarred by past battles, who in moments of vulnerability, questions her chosen path. Her internal struggle, marked by the dilemma of continuing her mission or surrendering, adds a poignant and tragic depth to her character. She symbolizes a resilient soul, fighting not for glory, but for a purpose that transcends life’s weariness.




Moxie’s vibrant and eccentric personality shines through as she proudly embraces her quirks. Her kooky demeanor adds whimsy, making her even more intriguing. Confident and assertive, she advocates for her beliefs and desires with remarkable determination.
