“The face looking back at them”

Monica Brinkman


Brain #: 385

The inspiration behind Shattered is a swirly mosaic made from tiny pieces of mirror full of light and reflections. The artist included some vintage pieces of jewelry, buttons and china to serve as a reminder of past generations. The mirrors allow the sculpture the illusion of constant movement and changing reflections. It also forces the viewer to see themself in the artwork, reminding them any of us could become a victim of dementia. My wish is that no one person will look in the mirror one morning and not recognize the face looking back at them.
