Inspiration for the work
As someone with a historical and ever-changing conflict with self-image and confidence, I wanted this work to explore the relationship I have with windows and mirrors. I pondered upon a link I had made between looking in mirrors and out of windows, with trying on clothes, getting ready for the day and getting upset with what I saw. On countless occasions, I would reserve a glance in the mirror until my entire outfit is ready, so as not to ruin the process straight from the start, and lose interest in an attempt of finding the right outfit. My eventual meeting with the mirror nearly always results in a break, where I stare out of a window, narrowly avoiding upset, and dealing with the negative thoughts that are on the cusp of falling out of my mouth.
