I have always been intrigued by the presentation of two or more perspectives/elements in an artwork. M. C. Escher’s ‘Reflections’ series has been an inspiration to me for a long time, as he manages to capture multiple perspectives within one image, by using reflective surfaces such as puddles, reflecting spheres, dewdrops, ponds, the pupil of an eye, etc. Yayoi Kusama also creates multiple perspectives in her exhibit ‘Infinity Mirrored Room’, where one hundred multi-coloured LED lights pulsate at various speeds and patterns inside an entirely reflective room, creating an illusion of infinite space. Other than the reflections of the lights, you can also see endless reflections of yourself, which creates a sense of freedom and makes you forget all limits.

I would like to create surrealist artwork using mirrors or other reflective surfaces to present multiple perspectives- such as the earth and the sky, for example- in one image. The artwork could range from paintings to photographs to installations and I could work with my surroundings or even try to create an other-worldly experience, just like Kusama did. It would also be interesting to manipulate the reflected image through ripples in water or broken mirrors, in order to give a distorted and transformed depiction of real life.
