11 / Split Mirror

2019

Split Mirror speaks to the psychological defense-mechanism of splitting, where an individual polarizes their consciousness or opinion into a good or bad binary. Temporarily, this eases the discomfort of complexity, but ultimately supports a cognitive dogmatism. The viewer sees the situation from only one side. The artists hope that through the beauty of the work, the viewer will be eased into seeing nuance.
