Series title: I am redundant, half of a whole, a freak, identical, and lucky.
The relationship I have with my twin sister is tightly woven, beautifully strange and difficult to explain. This has led me to explore a visual language that articulates the intimacy and the oddity of being a twin. Having been subjected to stares and double takes my whole life, I use photography to exaggerate the gaze of others and to illustrate the interconnectedness of our identity. It is difficult to see yourself as an individual when no one else does.
My photographs aim to grasp the idea that I am one person as well as two and discover what that looks like.
