Mirror Stage #2 Ed. 1 of 9

A simple light brownish photo that feels modern and surreal. A new creature that was made from a human by the mirror. The two hands hold/fill the head/face, The headless body doesn’t necessarily need the head/face.

This is a surrealistic photograph captured in my studio, and I didn't have any effect or photoshop on the post.
A piece of art has something to discover and think about. Before I planned this photograph, I thought about the human body, hands, head and mirror for a long time and started to build a surrealistic idea as a photograph. I named them the Mirror stage which is a concept in the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan.
These are conversation starters, so great to have in your living room or office. They have been named to reflect what its inside and where you can start to think about it.
