Sisters
Home

   Most of the time colours convey messages: say, the vivid red of a brazilian frog warning predators on the fatal venom carried by his skin. In this case the similar patterns on the two ladies’ garments were giving away that they were close relatives and, because of their age proximity, most probably, sisters. So, I inquired, and their simultaneous answer was yes. Not simpler was their consent to being portrayed – the sister on the right resulting the more appeasing, the other on alert: you can even feel yourself pierced by her suspicious attidude reflected by one of her lenses - even if they would have appeared from the backside. Note the perfect simmetry of colours in their dresses and hair. The simmetric straps – one of which is brown - on their shoulders also reveal the hint of right side younger sister being more open minded. Certainly, it's a sad scene, as, most of their life is over. But it's real, and from the accuracy and neatness of their garments, you can make out a certain dignity and endurance in view of their next frontier.
