Caitlyn Coupe, Opposition, Mirror Mosaic, 0.5m x 1m, 2009
This piece is a response to my observation and perception of the human body. The mosaic face references the famous ‘Marquardt Beauty Mask’ and the belief that if one’s face fits this mask, they are perfectly beautiful. The piece challenges this belief, as the mask is created entirely from shattered mirror. When looking into the mosaic face the viewer’s reflection is distorted and unclear, directly commenting on the erroneous idea that one’s beauty can be determined by their ability to match a beauty mask.
