DESCRIPTION

Reflections are formed in our minds and shape our ideas about who we are. Mirror Me! is an attempt to answer from different perceptions the question: Who am I?

What is the nature of self-reflection and how does it shape our perception of personal identity?

Viewers are encouraged to look beyond the obvious and delve deeper into the intricate connections that shape our identity. Mirror Me! becomes a metaphor for self-discovery, as we recognize that our identity is not isolated, but intricately intertwined with our surroundings.
