CONCEPT

There exists a closed society where the mirror serves as the highest court. It dictates what a person ought to be and the place they occupy within society. In this society, external appearance becomes the measure of adherence to the established ideal.

A young woman moves through a system where the mirror acts as a judge of her outward appearance. It does not simply reflect the person; it shows what society wants her to look like.

Through interaction with the mirror, a journey unfolds—from accepting a prescribed ideal to making an independent choice about one’s own image.

01 — TRUE IMAGE

The young woman is presented as she is—uninfluenced by societal expectations. A mirror is already present in the space, but it is only observing for now.

02 — THE IDEAL SOCIETY

The mirror delivers its «verdict»: the reflection shows the image the girl should conform to. The ideal has been pushed to a hypertrophied form.

03 — YOUR IMAGE

The young woman stops accepting the reflection in the mirror and creates her own image. Now, she herself determines how she wants to see herself.
