The act of holding another woman’s portrait functions as a mechanism of care and support— although

the portraits are individual, each woman who carries another places her within her own context. The

portraits shift the relationship of authorship and individual presence toward a logic of interdependence.

It is a stance taken before the camera—“I support and am supported by others.” In astronomy, an

asterism is an easily recognizable pattern of stars in the night sky. Unlike constellations, which divide the

sky into official areas, asterisms are informal, serving as visual and cultural guides. They may belong to

a single constellation or cross the boundaries of several.

The group configures the relations of sisterhood in terms of care and the public sphere, as well as

affection and intimacy. Photography appears as a gesture of connection and the crossing of layers: a

woman holds the image of another, a mother and daughter merge through movement, two presences

emerge veiled by a domestic fabric. Between sharpness, blur, and opacity, the images construct an

emotional landscape of shared femininity, where support and presence manifest themselves both in the

intimate sphere and in the social network of women.
