The Black Mirror series

I’m drawn to the space between material and meaning. In this series, I use black negative space and epoxy to create mirrored surfaces that hold reflection - not just of the body, but of being. These works invite stillness, presence, and self-recognition.

This series emerged from a growing awareness of how Western culture teaches us to view ourselves. We are constantly surrounded by mirrors, both literal and metaphorically. And living in a time where we can evolve, access infinite knowledge, and connect across the world, many of the images we see are still shaped for us. The next ad. The next scroll. The next trend.

These pieces aim to quietly disrupt that pattern. They reflect not a performance, but the possibility of returning to something more essential.

The surface is intentionally dark acting as a metaphor for the parts of ourselves we’re often conditioned to avoid.

The questions we skip.
The depth we bypass.
The self we’ve quieted in order to fit.

This is a space to pause.
To meet your own gaze.
To notice what’s there beneath the noise.

It’s not about answers or performance. It’s about presence. And maybe, if even for a moment, a quiet sense of gratitude for being here at all.

As Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”
