Mirror Rose

Jessie S.S.

Wood reeds, mulberry paper, glue, lightbulb

  • I created a large scale flower made out of mirror adhesive and mirror tiles that create multiple levels of fragmentation and clarity of the viewer’s reflection. The flower and mirror are symbols of vanity and the transience of beauty, and were common motifs in Vanitas and Still Life paintings. My work creates a tension between the flower and the mirror, the organic and the inorganic, the viewer has a direct relationship with these tensions through their involvement in the piece.

  • For me, creativity is the ability to express or communicate an idea in non-traditional manners and compellingly.
