about this wall mirror

This painted decorative wall mirror intricately captures a face making a peek-a-boo gesture, with hands hiding the eyes. The textured Paper Mache details of the hands, lips, and nose add dimension to the piece, while the head, adorned with multiple eyes, evokes an eerie and poetic quality.

The numerous eyes scattered across the hair suggest the theme of perception, symbolizing how identity is both seen and hidden. The design encourages viewers to contemplate what lies behind these gestures, blending elements of surrealism with introspection.

The artist's use of Paper Mache, in combination with the reflective mirror, creates an engaging dynamic. It merges the tangible nature of the craft with the reflective aspect of the mirror, enhancing the viewer's experience of the piece. This poetic composition invites reflection on how we see ourselves and how we are seen by others, layering meaning through the use of both physical and symbolic elements.
