Man in the Mirror

finaledit11.jpg

The image captures light with a particular emphasis on detailed repetition created by a cracked mirror. The name β€œMan in the Mirror,” is based on the combined ambiguity of how people perceive themselves through an abstract reflection, as well as a more literal translation of what created the base imagery for the piece, a silhouette in a mirror. The composition of mixed focus emphasizes the line and color abstraction that is created from a simple configuration of lines and colors that form a figure. Repetition is used purposely to create room for interpretation to the viewer. This photograph was originally taken as part of a series that experimented with how varying light sources and mirror fragments shift the composition of originally simple details.
