About the Exhibition

How do we see ourselves and the world around us? Reflections: Mirrors of the Mind and Soul invites artists to explore the concept of reflection in all its forms—whether through physical surfaces like mirrors and water, introspective self-portraits, or abstract interpretations of perception and identity.

Artists working in all mediums are encouraged to submit, provided the work aligns with the theme and meets professional presentation standards.

 

Theme Exploration

Submissions may explore, but are not limited to:

Literal Reflections: Mirrors, water, glass, light play, and optical illusions.
Self-Reflection: Identity, personal growth, memory, and emotional depth.
Cultural Reflection: Social perception, historical context, and collective consciousness.
Abstract & Surrealist Interpretations: Distorted or manipulated imagery that questions perception.
