1977
Nixon uses black-and-white photography to document the passage of time and the evolving relationships among the sisters. The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of the series, highlighting the fine details of aging, from the soft lines on their faces to changes in posture.
The composition is minimalist, focusing entirely on the subjects: the sisters. Their expressions are serious, yet not overly posed, giving a sense of rawness and authenticity. Each of the sisters is distinct in appearance, yet the tight framing of the shot emphasizes their unity.
