Mirrerror is a dysfunctional mirror that blurs direct reflection but allows for visual peripheral clarity. Referencing an archetypal 16:9 aspect ratio, Mirrerror speaks to our contemporary screen obsessed culture by functionally emphasizing diverging perspectives. By preventing one from clearly seeing themselves, Mirreror encourages viewers to engage with each other and their environment. In an era that prizes individual exceptionalism, Mirreror foregrounds community and selflessness.
