You Are My Twin

You Are My Twin is a psychological study of the relationship between twins. Intertwined with surrealist props and metaphors, this photographic series charts the emotions and experiences between these inextricably linked individuals through four narrative based works. Often twins can be considered as a single entity, whereas certain twins choose different paths in order to develop an individual identity. It is through the exploration of these ideas I seek to illustrate aspects of this complex relationship.

Russian-born Kristina Varaksina has resided in the USA since 2010 and currently lives and works between London and New York. Varaksina’s focus is to capture human emotion and the psychological impressions of her subjects' mind – permitting the characters to project their internal reality. Works undertaken are keen to explore a female perspective, connections between women’s psyche and external world.
