Label TextThis near empty room serves as a place of solitude, self reflection and contemplation of one's own private rooms filled with personal thoughts and musings. The table, chair and flowers signify the public aspects of self and the physical landscapes we occupy. The mirror in the center of the canvas reflects the black space of nothingness back into the viewer's space-begging the question, where is the viewer?
