A handheld mirror that swivels between two surfaces: a relief of an eye and a convex car mirror. The piece plays with perspective, with how our perception of ourselves can stretch or compress. Doubt can make achievements feel distant. Expectations can distort scale. What appears far away may, in fact, be much closer. Mahno's ceramics give form to experiences that are difficult to name, and this mirror, coated in pewter leaf, is no exception.
