What do we see when we look inward? Who do we perceive our own existence? Do our beliefs and actions impact those around us or are we limited to our own societal bubbles? Mirror Mirror reflects on the existential circumstances of living in isolation and disconnected from the world around us. It questions the barrier between perception and reality, fantasy and truth while illustrating many of the fears and anxieties linked to the global pandemic, public perceptions, and social responsibilities.
The skull is engraved in delft blue and white revealing images related to Covid 19 and the public reaction to it. The skull is mounted to an engraved mirror in a custom gold frame resembling a coffin.
