I propose to build an installation composed of large photographs and frames that mimic mirrors.

Placing of objects in the room as if they are mirrored. <br> | I expect these drawings to have a house of mirrors type of distorted effect and may be accompanied by an additional sculptural element that includes mirrors, or fake mirrors.
