Dek Unu Magazine - Marthanna Yater

Marthanna Yater’s project, "Growing Together," delves into the lives of twin sisters, exploring family dynamics, contrasts, and the essence of the human experience. It also serves as a very personal report from a photographer who discovers the power of defining family on her own terms. The documentary is a decades-long chronicle of the sisters' evolution from childhood to adulthood, from kidstuff to motherhood and diverse creative careers. But in capturing their journey, Marthanna Yater not only documents their lives but also embarks on a transformative exploration of her own identity both as an artist and as a rather unique member of a family made by choice not genetics.
