As you walk through this contemporary vision of a mythical landscape, notice how your movement activates questions that Echo is trying to convey. Watch as you gaze into your own reflection until you “drown” in the mirror pool and transform into a flower: just like Narcissus.
Each piece shows us an image of ourselves. The altered mirrors and reflective sculptures provide another avenue of contemplation as they bounce distorted images throughout the exhibit while the viewer wanders down the path to the water pool. In the age of the selfie, this installation considers our collective fixation on self image. Self-reflection is a healthy process, but we cannot only rely on what we see in the mirror, or online.
Each artist involved with Narcissus infused their own voice into the thematic structure of distorted reflection as they held and imagined each piece. What obstacles do we overcome to envision ourselves? What questions do you ponder but do not speak? What do we see that others do not?
