Reflections begins with a simple physical phenomenon: light strikes a surface and returns changed by what it encounters.

A polished surface may return an image clearly. Texture can fracture it. Color can absorb certain wavelengths while sending others back. What we perceive is shaped not only by the light itself, but by the object reflecting it and the position from which we choose to look.

The same is true when we reflect upon ourselves.

Memory, experience, ambition, insecurity, and circumstance all influence the image we construct of who we are and why we act. Looking backward can reveal patterns we failed to recognize while living through them; looking inward can force us to question whether the person we have become still reflects the person we intended to be.

Through light, visual art, and cuisine, Reflections explores that tension between surface and self—between what is projected outward, what is perceived by others, and what becomes visible only when we choose to look again.
