Sisters - New Graphic Journalism Piece for Drawing the Times

My second piece of graphic journalism for Drawing the Times is about the myths every family has. Stories from when you were little that your parents have told you so many times, they have become your own personal lore. When I was younger, these stories made me feel special and seen, but as I became a mother myself, I became more interested in finding out which of them were true and which were just that: stories.

This particular piece took me more than two years to make. Not because I didn’t like the answers I found (although I didn’t), but more because I didn’t get a satisfactory answer. Maybe the story my parents told me about me being a twin was true, and maybe it wasn’t. And currently, I don’t have a way to find out. It took me two years to realize that perhaps that was the most fitting way for this piece to go.

Hope you enjoy the piece, you can read it below, or, in a much more beautiful and serious environment on Drawing the Times!
