The photographs are representative of the Abraham family's bond. Statement from creator and donor Dana Abraham: "The bond my family shares is something truly extraordinary. I wanted to capture special moments with my family to provide them with a means of documenting our shared love and experiences. Some of the works focus on my sisters and the tribulations of youth, while others expand the rest of the family, portraying the intimate nature of familial bonds"
