The two subjects are sisters and my cousins. The reference picture was taken very casually, just a sweet snapshot of a small and simple moment. The two sisters have not lived near each other for years, and they reunite rather infrequently. When much of the family gathered for the first time in around five years, the loving dynamic immediately appeared. Even though each individual had grown and changed in drastic ways, the love was right there, unchanged and everlasting as ever. To me this image so perfectly captured how well that love was preserved. Despite becoming new people, despite completing major life stages, despite the distance, they are still sisters. That fact will never, and could never change. No matter how much the world takes, nothing can ever take the truth. No matter the distance, no matter the amount of time, the truth will always be here, that love will always be here. So here sits this simple moment, painted in purple, proving love's perseverance and permanent presence.

Las dos personas son hermanas y mis primos. La foto de referencia fue tomada de forma muy casual, solo una dulce instantánea de un pequeño y sencillo momento. Las dos hermanas no viven cerca la una de la otra desde hace años, y se reúnen con poca frecuencia. Cuando gran parte de la familia se reunió por primera vez en unos cinco años, la dinámica amorosa apareció inmediatamente. Aunque cada individuo había crecido y cambiado de forma drástica, el amor estaba ahí, inalterable y eterno como siempre. Para mí, esta imagen captó perfectamente lo bien que se conservó ese amor. A pesar de haberse convertido en personas nuevas, a pesar de haber completado grandes etapas de lavida, a pesar de la distancia, siguen siendo hermanas. Ese hecho nunca cambiará ni podrá cambiar. Por mucho que el mundo se lleve, nada podrá llevarse la verdad. No importa la distancia, no importa el tiempo, la verdad siempre estará aquí, ese amor siempre estará aquí. Así que aquí está este simple momento, pintado en púrpura, demostrando la perseverancia del amor y su presencia permanente.
