Helene Nesset

II

She told me how proud she was of me. I told her how much I loved her and how strong she was, gave her a big hug and walked out. Thought it was only a month until I’d see her again. The night after, my phone rang at two in the morning, and I immediately started crying. I know now that that was her goodbye.

II is about my own grief and guilt experienced after the loss of my identical twin sister. Through various photographic methods, I explore our correlation as twins and the life we shared but no longer do, made as an attempt to understand her reasons for leaving and to find some sort of solace.
