My project utilises mirrors to explore how photography can reflect an idea of nature. By capturing various fragmented views of landscapes reflected through mirrors of different sizes and shapes, I aim to offer viewers a new perspective on lived environments. Specifically, spaces like parks that are designated for experiencing plants and trees in the center of cities. The reflections depicted in the images provide a distorted glimpse of what could be seen to constitute the “nature” world, allowing viewers to see a familiar scene in an entirely new light. The intention of the work is to encourage viewers to have a deeper connection and appreciation of the world around us and by inviting them to embrace the beauty of these mirrored perspectives.
