    The eyes can be seen as "windows of the soul". Through them emerge the deepest feelings, dreams, fears and worries that we often intentionally or unintentionally keep hidden.

    Our work is an active arena of reflections in which the viewer actively participates, who detects the aspects that match or are in conflict with his own emotions - experiences and choices.

    Looking to find the perfect teacher?

    Does he/she reflect on his past perspectives as a student?

    Is he/she trying to avoid the faces that arise?

    Does he/she discover the different perspectives and think about himself/herself as a future teacher?

    The artwork invites the participating viewer to begin his own search journey through the multiplicity of prisms.

    The scrolls of life reflect the experiences that compose the personality - the values ​​and attitudes of the teacher, which in the context of the reflections are the elements that compose the explored aspects. Sprouts from the earth and over time ends up blooming in a landscape bathed in sun…

    Prismatic relationships compose the grid of relationships and interactions that are formed between teacher-student, student-student, and teacher-environment and student-environment.

    At the center is the personal reflection-introspection and the inner face of everyone regarding the subjects and the relationships that exist in the work.

     

    The broken fragments of the mirror show that the faces and visuals must overcome the prejudices, be perceived as parts of a whole, while at the same time having the margin of non-absoluteness.

    The mirror moves beyond the unique symbolic dimension and becomes an interactive object that allows viewers to become part of the work.
