Description
Since childhood, Alice and Ilaria have felt the need to understand their individuality, often asking themselves in front of the mirror: “Are we really the same?” Each has always perceived herself as different from the other.
This journey of self-discovery accompanied them into adulthood, where separation became an opportunity for growth. Alice and Ilaria have learned that, despite the strong bond that unites them, true strength lies in embracing their differences and developing their own identities.
The painting captures a moment of intimacy and complicity, highlighting the delicate balance of being “two in one.” This intimacy is accentuated by the use of warm colors and soft lines, which also emphasize the empathy and mutual respect the sisters have cultivated over time—particularly following Alice’s marriage, a milestone that marked a phase of growth and respect for personal boundaries.
The artist invites reflection on how much we define ourselves through relationships and how these influence the way we see ourselves. Anyone who has ever desired to be seen and recognized for who they truly are, without being confined by labels and predefined roles, can find a reflection of themselves in this series, regardless of whether or not they have a twin in their own family.
