Everyone has two sides to their character, both pure and evil. When faced with different choices, it is common to consider them through two different personalities. But as we make choices over and over again, we come closer to the personality we think we are. Choosing through different personalities over and over again will little by little replace the other one. For this work, I chose to use mirrors to create the work, and to play the different personalities by using two pieces of clothing with a high contrast. By using the mirror as a specific prop to interpret the two different dimensions. In the description of the picture, I wanted to express storytelling and an iconic definition of the pure side with a doll and the evil side with a gun. When we look in the mirror we no longer see the exact same self, but another part of ourselves. It’s more like a communication with ourselves.
