Mirror
鏡に映る姿が自分であると知ることは自己認識の第一歩であるとされ、古来最も神秘的なものとして扱われていた鏡。その起源は水面に映る水鏡まで遡る。さざ波たつ水面に近づき覗き込むと自分の顔は歪んで見える。反射する実世界を歪ませ、自己認識の芽生えに触れた作品群。
Mirrors were said to reflect the source of the self and were treated as sacred objects. The origins of the mirror can be traced back to a water mirror reflected in the water surface. The rippling surface of the water rises up three-dimensionally and reflects light, and when you get closer and look into it, your face is reflected in a distorted way. Still, you recognize that it is you. A series of works that trace back to the roots of self-awareness by distorting the real world of reflection.
