From issue: #16 Street
Each issue, we ask the community of Photography+ readers to submit photographs related to the issue theme. For this issue, we are delighted to publish Untitled by Roxana Savin.
‘The image (Untitled) was taken in Sibiu, Romania, 2022. I photographed these two ladies in a supermarket parking lot. They were sisters, in their 70s. They were deeply religious, never spent a day apart and dressed in identical clothes all the time. This photograph is part of a larger project investigating how the local society and culture identify themselves in a shifting system of globalising cultural trends. Contemporary social discourse denounces the loss of national consciousness, social and national solidarity, and declining moral values. For many Romanians, religion filled the post-1989 ideological vacuum and provided a means for a defensive response.’
