Andrea Arevalo, Oakland-based photographer + videographer, “Sisters.”
She wanted to explore the relationship between sisters, one that was very important to her as she grew up and which evolves and changes every season. So she began a collection of portraits of adult sisters to encourage them to examine their relationships with a new lens.
Naturally she began with herself and her sister, and crafted images that show their similarities while simultaneously highlighting their differences. Small details like only seeing one of their bodies in the frame allows the viewer to wonder where one person starts and the other ends.
Arevalo plans to continue on the project with sisters in the Bay Area.
