Abstract
Reflections of the People explores the concept of human connection, empathy, and how people perceive themselves. Through the colored mirrors, viewers can see themselves in a different individual and see that as people we have something in common with every person we meet. The audience should take a moment to look deep within themselves and recognize their own characteristics, which can be broken down into fragments and correlate them with other people. The symbolism of the colors is that they are associated with various emotions and personality traits that make up an individual. As you can see some of the fragments are not transparent, just like there are aspects about others that will never be uncovered. As humans, we have the emotional power to connect with each other and build relationships.
