Ilaria, even though there is a ping pong effect, I feel they are united. This is sort of weird, but the blue streak of the wall points to the smaller child, who in turn by her pose leads to the older girl's foot an up. I see this U thing happening, so even though the sisters are separate, there is still unity.
I like this painting, there are definitely some tensions and it makes me want to respond to what might be going on in their relationship. Where is Freud when you need him?
