Untitled, 2009



This photo is interesting to me because the photographers angle and use of mirrors portray a message of self reflection in multiple points of view. The reflection that the women see in the mirror can have a different meaning than the reflection the audience sees. When the women look at themselves in the mirror they may see personal flaws or strengths that we, as an audience, do not see or feel because we do not know them personally. Also, the mirror shows only a portion of their faces and not their body. Normally when women look in the mirror they critique their bodies, but in this photo it is as if the photographer wanted to get across the strength and weakness of the minds of women. Another thing that I found interesting about this photo was that the position the women are in is a circle and the mirrors are in the shape of a circle. To me, the shape of a circle represents a continuous motion where there are no stops and everything is connected. This makes me think that maybe the women in the picture have things in common with one another or are connected in some way.
