‘Mirrors and Windows’ (2021) reflects the pain of our loved ones through breast cancer. I wanted to express my relationship with my loved ones during my life, but I also must show the impact that had suddenly arisen in the last seven years when those women in my life suffered due to their breast cancer. Despite this, I wanted to express the dynamics of our relationships before this event: I wanted to represent our pain, love, and connection before and throughout these last episodes in our lives. I wanted to create a catalytic reaction in others. I wanted to be my lover’s mirror and my own. I wanted to consider Barthes's theory, “A photograph can be an object of three practices or three emotions or three intentions”: The Operator, The Spectrum and The Spectator.
