Part of this artwork is composed of mirrors layered with various materials and textures. It feels somewhat empty, yet knows how to fill itself. I invite the gaze to turn inward through symbolic associations.
The painting’s structure conceals and arranges thought through hints – parts overlap, revealing and simultaneously masking. Symmetry seems present, yet incomplete, as if paused. Perhaps this is a nod to our uniqueness, personal irreplaceability, a contrast to mechanical perfection.
The mirror engages not only the gaze but the viewer themselves. Everything reflected on its surface becomes part of the artwork. The viewer not only observes but is observed, offered a chance to see themselves as part of the artwork. Can the gaze upon one’s reflection be different, not judging, inquiring?
If you look directly at this work, you see yourself in a mirrors. You may pick an angle that does not reflect you or you can try to ignore the reflection and see the whole piece differently, ignoring the mirror view. Is that possible?
