A collaboration with writer Barbara Adler about the Narcissus myth, exploring the subjective nature of our perception of others
"The nature of “the way you look” was eloquently presented in the interactions of these two bodies moving beneath a shiny reflective surface: looking into mirrors, mirroring each other, moving one another, almost as inanimate objects. The last line summed it up perfectly for me “as your breath lays where it halts at my surface”. - Plank Magazine
