In my art I'm taking mirrors out of their original context, forming geometric abstractions using a technique of relief outliners, glass paints and oil-based paints on mirrors.

Mirrors are unique substances that allow reflectiveness, the artworks created than change with different perspectives, transformed by each unique glance, enabling me to study the connection between identity and perception through the art prism.

The geometric abstract shapes represent my private language, in a way voicing my thoughts and emotions: The movement of the shapes, the way they intertwine or disconnect, the symmetry or asymmetry chosen for each composition. When deciding on a color scheme, I take time choosing which parts will be colorfully reflective, which parts (if any) would leave the mirror exposed, and which parts will be colored in opaque colors and different textures so that the gaze is obstructed. It is a study of form and abstraction, each work has a unique balance between concealment and revelation, allowing for glimpses of the person standing in front of it to shine through. I consider each of my artworks to be incomplete until a person stands in front of them and allows him/herself to be transformed into a work of art.

Through my art, I want to question the common way in which we use mirrors as an oppressive tool we inflict on ourselves: Looking in the mirror to see if we fit in, to view what others might see when they look at us, check for imperfections, try to change what we look like in order to satisfy the ever-fluid and elusive definition of beauty we view in the media.

​

Seeing oneself and surroundings through a mirror and the art prism combined, is meant to explore the act of perception, and the complex relations between our sense of self and our mirrored image. The language of the geometric abstraction through which the viewer is reflected leads to different questions: are there not always "filters" obstructing and manipulating our vision? Be it our emotions (often coloring reality), our preconceived notions, our previous experiences, society's expectations, or even the filters of technology and image manipulations (photoshop, Instagram etc.)- We rarely look at reality, others or even ourselves "unfiltered". Seeing oneself through these artworks is meant to stop the gaze searching the mirrored image for imperfections. Instead noticing the unique way in which we are always influencing everything around us – be it people, the environment, or even art.
