What if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we’re together,
It doesn’t matter at all.”
I came to know Eugene by chance, and was invited into her home to meet her twin daughters Eulanda and Rustica, and the twins’ grandmother Maria.
When Eugene asked me to photograph the twins’ twenty-first birthday, I knew they had accepted me in the role of family photographer.
Dhon moves through their intimate interior lives, situating daily gestures against a landscape sliding into real-estate speculation. Their home holds a density of memory at risk of erasure.
Flowing between documentary and staged imagery, Dhon attempts to hold that world still. In the lives of Eugene, Eulanda, Rustica, and Maria, I found a way to revisit my own longing for continuity.
