For a decade, artist Tali Harel Even has documented her daughters Alma Even and Teva Harel.

The two have an 11-year difference. Alma has been photographed since she was a child and Teva from early adolescence. Parallel to each other, the two grow and learn their way in the world while the camera accompanies them trying  to figure out a formula or decipher a code that reveals their futures as women.It has been a journey of years documenting their maturation while engaging in the delicate movement between childhood, femininity and self-development as an individual within the family unit.

This exploration brings the girls face-to-face with the concepts of death, sexuality, family ties, and personal rituals. The artist documents the ways the girls behave in their environment. When in the studio, Tali also emphasizes her own trajectory, presenting her interpretation of the processes the girls have been through over the years.

The connection  between the space that belongs to Tali’s daughters (i.e. their home), and the space that belongs to the photographer (i.e. the studio) leads to the question of: What is objective and what is subjective when viewed through the lens of a woman who is both a photographer and a mother?
