SHATTERED
The inspiration behind Shattered is a swirly mosaic
made from tiny pieces of mirror full of light and
refl ections. The artist included some vintage pieces
of jewellery, buttons and china to serve as a reminder
of past generations. The mirrors allow the sculpture
the illusion of constant movement and changing
refl ections. They also force viewers to see themselves
in the artwork, reminding them any of us could
become a victim of dementia. The artist’s wish is that
no one person will look in the mirror one morning and
not recognize the face looking back.
