Artist Statement:
In 2004, I travelled to Northern India to photograph Tibetan buddhist monasteries around Dharamsala, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile. Years later, revisiting the portrait of the western nun and monk in Buddha Twins, I was struck by their identical expression, although their photograph was taken at a different time and location. As I have been exploring diptychs in my work, I paired them in one unexpected duo.
