That Girl in the Mirror


A reinterpretation of "Girl Before a Mirror" http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=78311

This was interesting because I approached the painting as a self portrait so it became a reflection or a reflection viewed through the distorted lens of the mind's eye. In terms of the history of the original work, I don't know if a man can truly interpret what a lady is seeing when she is contemplating her reflection. I'm pretty sure most if it is probably not what he thinks it is, mortality notwithstanding.
