Recreating The Awkwardness

“The original was taken back in 1990 in USSR. I’m the older girl in my school uniform. Not sure why the studio decided to position us as if we’re waiting for a very important phone call. Twenty-three years later and my dad is wearing the same exact sweater, my mom the same exact blouse and jewelry, and she tells me that the collar used on my shirt is the same one off my uniform. I’m not sure what caused her to save that and bring it to America with us when we moved, and then to save it for 20 more years afterwards. I apparently went from school girl to a maid in the past 23 years.”
