Mirror
17+5

Mirror 17+5 is an installation in which composition, atmosphere, and spatial experience take precedence over the individual images themselves. A photograph projected onto the wall and a swing suspended in the centre of the space subtly evoke a small personal tragedy.

The space is surrounded by stark portraits of ordinary people. The photographs are installed in front of mirrors, allowing the viewer to encounter both the image and their own reflection simultaneously.
