Identities is a fascinating and unique photo series, captured by noted Turkish photographer and architect Can Dagarslani, that uses two near-identical and seemingly inseparable young women as its protagonists. The series appears to be exploring themes of how one's identity can be interwoven with that of a friend, companion or other influential figure, to the point that it becomes almost impossible to figure out where one's unique identity ends and where someone else's influence begins.
Each photo in the Identities series captures two women who are positioned in the same way. The women are not identical in terms of their facial expressions, but are when it comes to their posture and the emotions they convey by their positions, which range from peculiar and whimsical to borderline disturbing.
