“Mirrors are often regarded as offering a transparent and unbiased view of reality. In Threshold, mirrors are used to situate the viewer between reality and distorted images, encouraging self-reflection and self-awareness.
Sanaz Mazinani’s work uses intricate laser-cut mirror panels inspired by Islamic architecture. These mirrors reflect images of the viewer and intermingle them with video projections - a coming together within a fractured dimension. The video is created using multiple scenes of explosions taken from Hollywood movies, evoking Mazinani’s childhood experiences of war and conflict.
By mirroring and multiplying these scenes, Mazinani transforms the shocking explosions into kaleidoscopic compositions that captivate the visitor’s attention. Her artwork questions the over exposure and manipulation of conflict in the media industry and the distorted reality that these images create.
Sanaz Mazinani is an artist, academic, and educator based in Toronto. She works across the disciplines of photography, sculpture, and large-scale multimedia installations. Mazinani creates informational objects that invite us to rethink how we see. Her work has been shown internationally and is held in public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Aga Khan Museum.”
How many masks do we have to uncover within ourselves until we grasp a hint of who we really are?
Sometimes I feel desiccated, emotionless...and wonder if the lack of emotion is a mask or if it is somehow another layer I have peeled off.
Thank you guys who've still kept up with my stream even though I've been MIA for a while, catching up slowly!
Taken in my favourite Toronto green space where they recently put up a mirrored pole to allow people to see their reflection in a landscape.

What an eventful year you've been. I was lost. I was bored. I was sad. I was feeling isolated. But you sent changes my way. So, I adapted. I flourished. And life was better once more.
However, you're not leaving me without regrets. There are things I should have done. People to whom I should've said goodbyes, or hellos. I will look back with sadness, but I'll try not to dwell. Because that's not who I am.
Here's to 2016. May you be just as exciting.

Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter.
Edition #12 is from 30 November 2023 till 21 January 2024. More than twenty light artworks will illuminate the iconic canals of Amsterdam. For Amsterdam Light Festival 2023-2024 we have asked artists to consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives. The ways in which we communicate, engage and create are all impacted by technology and AI. What is the impact on the human condition? How does society change because of this digital evolution? And where are the boundaries? The different perspectives will be highlighted during Edition 12, with the theme: LOADING… Revealing Art, AI and Tech.
The route consists of more than twenty light artworks by the hand of international artists. From renowned names to surprising newcomers and everything in between. We dive deeper into our relationship with personal tech, the mobile phone being at the forefront – we cannot live without it, but sometimes you wish you could throw it in the canal. Subjects such as swarm intelligence, self learning algorithms, facial recognition and motion capture are also explored. What will be next? That is still loading…
Thanks for your kind feedback :)!

They were two of the girls I met during a time in my life when there were no rules and no restrictions for me.
I met Erika towards the end of 2015. She told me she liked my photographs.
I met Alazne in 2016, at a nightclub in Gipuzkoa. I danced with her all night.
At first, I thought Erika was the deeper of the two. What truly set them apart was that one had lived through a very difficult life, while the other was pretending to have done so.
The good thing is, it was never too late to choose the more genuine of the two.
To this day, I haven’t kept in touch with any of the group of friends I had back then. Alazne is the only one who’s still in my life.
And she was the most beautiful thing that place ever gave me.

Self- fleS

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

This week Frank challenged me to a reflection shot. No water, glass, mirror. My interpretation is very loose.
When you look within yourself do you see the person you thought you would become? Do you see yourself as you truly are?...how about how others see you? How much have you changed and evolved as you continue life's journey. Life's looking glass can be an enlightening experience or a rude awakening.
Check out Frank's interpretaion here.
This is my first attempt at cloning. Successful or not, I had fun with it.
This will be the last selfie challenge post for 3 weeks. Summer vacation break time for Frank. Back later this afternoon to catch up.
