MIRROR ( 01 )
The MIRROR ( 01 ) introduces reflection as both a material and conceptual counterpoint within the Burnt Wood Collection. Framed in burnt ash and oak, its surface carries the visible traces of fire — cracks, charred layers, and irregular textures — marking a moment of deliberate destruction that gives rise to a new form.
The dark, scorched wood absorbs light, while the reflective surface returns it, creating a tension between opacity and clarity, absence and presence. Rooted in Japanese philosophy, the mirror embraces imperfection as a means of revealing truth. The burned frame holds time, process, and fragility, while the reflective plane invites introspection — positioning the viewer within the narrative of change.
