Muhammad Imam Hasan

While taking pictures on the street, Muhammad Imam Hasan saw so many twins that this gave him the inspiration to create his “Identical” project. In recent years, he had also seen so many twins in his private practice – he is a child doctor – and noticed that this is a growing phenomenon. It may be due to taking drugs that induce ovulation, as the number of infertile couples increases day by day as an effect of environmental pollution.
About 1 in 90 human births – 1.1% – results from a twin pregnancy. Interestingly, in addition to identical faces, they also have certain types of identical behaviors and disease patterns. However, even though the twins are identical in their faces, they are different in their personalities. While one twin is frowning, the other is smiling.
