The title, Hello is What a Mirror Says, suggests an intimate dialogue between the self and its reflection, framing the mirror as a silent yet profoundly truthful conversational partner. The organic shapes and flowing lines echo the fluidity of identity, capturing the ever-changing nature of how we perceive ourselves.
The pink and violet figures, curving and extending outward, suggest a vulnerability or openness, while the warm yellows and grounding greens balance this with vitality and growth. The central elements feel almost anthropomorphic, as if the figures are grappling with their own reflections, searching for recognition or understanding.
This work speaks to the universal human experience of self-discovery and the paradox of mirrors: they reveal the surface while hinting at the depths within. It invites the viewer to pause and consider what their own reflection might say, and how that conversation shapes their understanding of themselves.
