“Mirror Bloom” started as an experiment in architecture and ended as an exploration of self. We covered an entire courtyard with fragmented mirrors — not as decoration, but as distortion. Every angle changed depending on where you stood, and every reflection was incomplete. Visitors walked through a maze of light and shadow, seeing themselves dissolve into a thousand pieces. It wasn’t about vanity — it was about perspective, and the beauty that lives inside imperfection.

When we built “Mirror Bloom,” the goal wasn’t to create something beautiful — it was to reveal what beauty hides. The installation reflected everything and nothing at once. Sunlight fractured across the mirrored panels, turning ordinary movement into choreography. Faces blurred, bodies bent, and every person became both subject and spectator. What fascinated us most was how quickly people forgot to pose. At first, they searched for their reflection; soon after, they simply wandered, lost in the shimmer of endless versions of themselves. The project became a metaphor for modern identity — fractured, fluid, constantly shifting with light. “Mirror Bloom” wasn’t just visual; it was emotional architecture, a structure built to remind us that what’s broken can still be breathtaking.
What do mistakes teach you about creation?
That control is overrated. Every great performance carries a moment that wasn’t planned — a breath, a glitch, a misstep that shifts everything. “Static Bloom” taught us that imperfection isn’t the enemy; it’s the pulse that keeps things human. When the feedback loop refused to stop, it reminded us of something deeper — that tension and beauty can coexist. The crowd didn’t hear a mistake; they heard persistence. That’s what art really is: the process of turning something unwanted into something unforgettable.
“Error is honesty. Every broken sound carries a truth the perfect ones are too afraid to tell.”
