The person we see in the mirror... are we the ones who sees it or it the one who sees us? And when we turn our backs, does it also turns its back on us or does it follow us, as a faithful imitation, but with all the flaws that a projection we make of ourselves may have?

The person we see in the mirror... are we the ones who sees it or it the one who sees us? And when we turn our backs, does it also turns its back on us or does it follow us, as a faithful imitation, but with all the flaws that a projection we make of ourselves may have? After all, we are our greatest critics. If our reflection were a shadow, would it be just one or would it multiply considering all of our personas? Sometimes, maybe just don't questions about what happens on the other side of the mirror. Nor about what's going on on this side. Photography by Julien Vallon. Belen Casadevall styling.
