“Come, meet my daughters!”
I came to know Eugene, her twin daughters Eulanda and Rustica, and the twins’ grandmother Maria, on a chance encounter, while on a walk in the village of Moira, where they live in their 200 year old home.
When Eugene asked me to photograph the twins’ twenty first birthday I tookn on the role of family photographer and began documenting their lives within the village, the farm lands and their church community.
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.
A photo book is in the works.
