Head's up: Yossi Milo Gallery is having an opening tonight of Kelli Connell's photography exhibition Double Life.At first glance, the photographs seem to examine the relationship of two female friends. But the same model actually portrays both characters, "changing her body language and clothing for the given role," says the gallery. "By using a single model to enact multiple roles, the artist explores the complexity of shifting identities within intimate relationships." Very interesting.
I agree with this concept -- when you're so close with someone, whether it's a best friend or sister, you do shift around in your roles as you grow closer. There are so many ebbs and flows in a friendship, and they're all lovely and help bring you together as soulmates and kindred spirits. This photographic series makes me miss my best friend Brooke, who is inspiring and beautiful. We've gone through so many stages together, and I look forward to many more.
