This painted decorative wall mirror beautifully captures the full profile of a man, with the reflective surface representing his head or mind. The mirror is encircled by two hands, holding it as if protecting his thoughts. Painted on the mirror’s surface are dreamlike fish swimming, evoking a sense of fluidity and mental flow.
The intricate details of the hands grasping the mirror add depth to the composition, symbolizing the grip of one's thoughts. The fish imagery represents dreams, ideas, and the subconscious, blending the mirror's reflective purpose with its symbolic significance. The artistic portrayal connects viewers to the man’s inner world, making them ponder the emotional and mental landscapes.
The artist’s mastery is showcased through the juxtaposition of Paper Mache and the mirror’s surface, emphasizing the tension between the physical and metaphysical. This combination turns the piece into an evocative exploration of the human mind, where thoughts and emotions swim through consciousness like fish in water.
