In 2012, I had the chance to meet the Curras Brothers, two twins ceramic artists that live in Miami. Two weeks after, i decided to take some pictures and i knew that it wasn't an easy task because twins have been photographed several times (and very well like Diane Arbus). When i saw the group of pictures again, i realized that this series was a study of the human nature and that there was a true dialogue between the Curras Brothers. This two brothers have always lived and worked together. This series also wants to work like a "trompe l'oeil" whether we can think or imagine that we have a mirror behind in the background or a digital reproduction. The Curras Brothers like I said before have always worked and lived together and follow each other path like in the picture where they are walking.
