When we observe the object, we cannot consider it just the way it is without any interference of our way of thinking and view because our observation is deeply rooted in our personal experiences and memories. This work is created to explore their own appearances reAlected in the mirror in daily life and to explore into the inside of the nose usually touched on their own.
