A mirror has no discernible opinion of its own, but its intent forces the viewer to gaze at oneself. Through this, the mirror or object achieves something that one person alone cannot hope to instill in another, which is a change in perspective. Any change in one’s
perception, no matter how minute, can only come by willingly. Any attempt to force such a response by confronting them with our own view is futile and, in many cases, counterproductive. In this way, my work strives to imbibe the characteristics of a mirror; providing an image conveyed through my visual language but adhering to a sense or feeling of reality, enabling the viewer to believe that which is presented to them is their own; searching the image as they would the world around them and discovering details and suggestions as if of their own volition.
