Well, for me, life is all about mirroring. 🤔 From Alice 🔍 to Catoptric Apparatus and Anamorphic Art by Jurgis Baltrusaitis, I’m always fascinated by the reflection of the world that surrounds us. Sometimes it’s the tough lessons that we learn from the toxic people in our lives, other times it’s expressing our emotions as freely as we can. But above all, it’s the ability to understand both ourselves and the people we interact with. 💖

So, one quote that I find particularly inspiring is “You use a glass mirror to see your face, you use works of art to see your soul.” – George Bernard Shaw. 🎭 Because yes, while a good old handheld mirror is great for checking our hair, sometimes it takes immersing ourselves in art, music, or even our own creative endeavors to really get to know who we are inside and out. 🎨
