OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE

CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR

Inspired by introspection, empathy and the
psychological and physical properties of reflection,
this piece explores the creation of dimensionality
and perspective in reflective surfaces. It situates a
person in relation to others so as to reflect human
closeness and separation. Onlookers are integrated
– their unique perspectives, schemas and fragments
of experience creating malleable and ever-changing
reflections. The encompassing environment propels
consideration of what is seen and the implications of
an apparent closeness to others. This design aims to
convey awareness of oneness, otherness, humanness
and both the fragmentation and unity of the self.
