Have you ever stood in front of your own reflection and felt both familiar and mysterious? In the Mirror 5 is that moment—a hush in the air, a flicker of memory, a question you can’t quite put into words. It’s the feeling of standing in the doorway of your own mind while the light changes, when everything is both clear and uncertain. Sometimes, art isn’t about answers—it’s about honoring the quiet, electric pause before the next thought arrives.

If this feeling speaks to you, I invite you to pause with me. What does this moment bring up for you?

About In the Mirror 5

“In the Mirror 5” captures a moment of quiet self-reflection—a contemplative figure poised before their own image. The composition draws the viewer into a subtle dialogue between self-perception and reality, where the boundaries between observer and observed begin to blur. Expressive brushwork and vibrant colour choices bring the scene to life, emphasizing the emotional complexity of looking inward.

Artist’s Perspective

This piece is part of an ongoing exploration of introspection and identity. Working from two movie frames edited into one, I used acrylic’s immediacy to layer colour and gesture, allowing the painting to evolve organically. My focus was on capturing the internal landscape—the thoughts and emotions that surface in moments of solitude. The mirror becomes both a literal and metaphorical device, inviting viewers to consider their own experiences of self-examination.
