2009
In this photograph, time has visibly woven its influence on the sisters, each line and wrinkle telling a story of decades shared. Their faces, once youthful in Nixon’s earlier shots, now bear the beautiful marks of age—freckles, lines, and the softened contours of experience. Yet, there’s no sign of weakening; instead, there’s a quiet, solid confidence in their gazes.
A playful detail here is the hand resting on one sister’s shoulder, subtly suggesting Nicholas Nixon’s presence just outside the frame. It’s as if he’s become part of the sisterhood, capturing their journey for so long that his fingers have made their way into the scene.
