Siblings

For my final year at the School of Visual Arts, I started working on a project revolving around siblings. Throughout the years, I’ve been consistently intrigued with my family and the dynamic between me and my different family members, especially with my sister. For my thesis project, I’ve taken my interest in sibling relationships past my own experience, and wanted to document and study other families. I’ve shot siblings that I’m close with and have known for a while, friends of friends, and siblings that were strangers to me prior to our shoot. The consistent factor among the siblings I shot was an inherent comfortability that I’ve rarely seen outside of a family unit. The relationship you have with your siblings ends up being the longest in your life, though it’s not often regarded in that way. It’s this special bond that I keep returning too, and this is a project that I plan to continue for years to come.
