Mirage Collage is a collection of mirrors laid out in a distinct pattern of overlapping grid formations. This piece both examines and reflects ideations of BIPOC body and space amidst a warped landscape of the future.
Mirage Collage is the culmination of arranged mirrored surfaces. Its function is to shift perceptions of the future by highlighting a nature of fluidity inspired by digital landscape and ubiquitous projections of identity. Like the grid that sits behind a computer screen informed by codes, calculating patterns of movement and transformation, Mirage Collage is the collection of reflective surfaces. It calculates the movement, textures and colors of yet another mirror of reality which focuses itself on the transformative nature of expanding BIPOC identities.
