Maria Bejmowicz-Szemplinska Sister
May 1–29, 2009
Sister is an autobiographical series created
in an attempt to make amends
between two sisters after a thirty-year
estrangement. Bejmowicz-Szemplinska
makes some painful discoveries about
the hardships her sister has endured
making beds, mattresses and furniture
at home, but is also delighted by her
sister’s accomplishments. These photographs
reflect the love and concern
Bejmowicz-Szemplinska has for her
“little” sister.
