The work demonstrates the reliance on the presence of human bodies, as well as reflective surfaces and ideas around ‘the observer’. Humans are positioned in an environment that provokes self-realisation within a social context. Self Reflector allows us to slow down in this current fast-paced environment and even if just for a moment allows us to stop and think about our position within the world and how, as individuals and as groups we can be positively influential to the world and environment around us.

“In all my work...geometric forms inhabited and activated by the presence of the viewer, and a sense of uneasiness and psychological alienation is produced by a constant play between feelings of inclusion and exclusion.”
Dan Graham, “Heart Pavilion,” in Two-Way Mirror Power, p. 173. 

The project presents two separate spaces. The first space, Reflector, has seven reflective structures, that allows bodies to move within and around the space, and ultimately become apart of an experience. Using two-way mirror and sensored lighting, the audience shift from observing their own reflection to observing bodies through the other side. While this is occurring a small hidden camera, positioned in the layers of the mirror, is recording live footage into the second space, Observer. Suddenly, a realisation occurs where visitors become aware that they were being watched while moving around the Reflector space.
