Semester work on the topic of a mirror.
I conceived my personal mirror in the form of an awareness of impermanence. When we look in the mirror, we don’t just perceive our appearance. We subconsciously perceive our ego, identity, mood, social status, etc. I often asked myself questions at work. “How much time can we spend in front of the mirror, not developing self-love, but berating our bodies for apparent flaws?”
I worked with a meditation on the present moment. Which I captured with a distracting element in the form of a time indicator. The precise definition of the time data, as is the case with clocks, was not important to me. I transferred the fleeting moment of time with the help of sandblasted frottage to the front side of the mirror. Which is my subjective reminder and visualization of the idea of particles of cosmic unity. In my life, they give me a lightness of being and gratitude for life. Which already stems from the mentioned time. For me, this is the strongest of all realizations, because the reminder of my own mortality gives me the will to live.
