The Reflections series began with a simple image: a person facing a mirror.

But the more I worked with that idea, the less the mirror felt like an object and the more it became a question.

What do we see when we look at ourselves? What do we recognize immediately, and what feels unfamiliar? What changes when the reflection doesn't quite match the way we understand ourselves?

Each piece in the series uses the mirror as a space for introspection, tension, and identity. Sometimes the reflection feels reassuring. Sometimes it creates distance. And sometimes the person looking back seems almost like someone else.

That ambiguity interested me.

There are moments in life when our sense of ourselves shifts faster than our ability to recognize the person in front of us. That experience can be especially complex for people whose identity is not always reflected back to them in the way they understand it, including many trans and gender-diverse people.

But the larger question behind the series is one I think most of us encounter in some form:

How much of who we are comes from what we see, and how much comes from what we know?

Reflections is about that vulnerable space between the two.
