[It is said that the “Camera Never Lies”. Prove it wrong.]
I knew I wanted to use a mirror for this one because the prompt reminded me of a house of mirrors, or one of those reflective mazes. I would always get lost in them as a kid– not even the mirror mazes, but corn and rock mazes, too.
Anyway, I found a rotting orange, so I took it. I had to stack some books to make it reach my mirror, so I figured I’d use a blue one to make the orange look nicer against it. The lie here is that as long as your back is turned to someone, they’ll never see how ugly your face is. I speak from experience, as a fellow Medusa myself.
On a more serious note, this image could speak on the way you never truly appreciate yourself like others do. There are so many people in my life that don’t see their own value, and how much happiness they give me just by being in my life, just because they don’t give themselves the same happiness by living with themselves. I hope they realise that just giving others happiness is purpose enough in life, and I hope I can offer them the love they give me.
