My black-and-white photographic project titled Mirror to Mirror explores the metaphorical use of the fragmented mirror or the frame within the frame. Unlike a mirror that reflects a complete image of what is in front of it, the mirrors in my work limit one’s perception. I use small mirrors varying in shape and scale, which create compositions that obscure the view of the subject. The overlapping of mirrors blends into a new formation of the face, alluding to a complicated sense of identity. Mirror to Mirror questions our ability to perceive one unified whole from the multitude of one's self.
