THE MIRROR OF VALUE

THE MIRROR OF VALUE
In this artwork, an elegant aristocratic figure gazes into a golden hand mirror—yet instead of her reflection, the surface reveals a single symbol of modern worth. Her lavish wig, meticulously curled and adorned, frames an empty space where her face should be, inviting viewers to question what truly defines identity today.

Rather than offering a critique, the piece plays gently with the idea that value—whether emotional, personal, or financial—is something we often search for outside ourselves. The mirror becomes a stage where expectations, desires, and beliefs about prosperity are projected.

What do we see when we look for value?
Sometimes a promise, sometimes a dream—and sometimes just our own longing looking back at us.
