The "mirror" consists of 830 wooden chips bordered by an octagonal
frame made of warm natural rosewood. A motor is attached to each of
the chips, and the "mirror" reflects the person standing in front
of it by manipulating the play of light on the chips. When the chips
move all at once in response to the Image taken by the camera, a resonant
yet unobtrusive sound like the rippling of waves on a calm sea reverberates
gently in the ear. This is a work which finds a subdued kind of beauty
in the organic fusion of rigid objects such as mirrors or computers
and materials like naturally-colored wood.
