this image captures a fleeting moment where the cityscape of hannoverâs osterstraÃe divides itself into two mirrored worlds. the sharp reflection on the glass façade creates a striking symmetry, making it difficult to discern where reality ends and its reflection begins. the woman walking by, engrossed in her phone, seems unaware that sheâs both here and there, existing in two spaces at once. this juxtaposition of the ordinary and the abstract invites viewers to question the boundaries of perception, as the urban environment transforms into a surreal dance of light, shadow, and reflection.

Parallel World
從天而降的你 像一場流星雨美麗
讓我措手不及
來不及許願就 失去你

You who fell from the sky are beautiful like a meteor shower
Caught me off guard
I lost you before I could make a wish

she walks through the quiet fracture of lightâhalf-shadowed, unnamed. behind her, a second figure waits, watches, breathes. they never touch. and yet the geometry between them glows like something unspoken. a dress, a step, a hand, a pauseâeverything becomes the frame.
Wherever we live we create visual references of an alternative world. These symbolic markers function as 'gates' or 'portals' into a world that is different from what we normally experience. Here, on Olney's very Georgian High Street, turn left, pass through between these two young women who, since antiquity, are holding up the fabric of our constructions, and find the person that will reveal to you what has been hidden: the psychotherapist.

A Mirror Image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it results from reflection off from substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures. Two-dimensional mirror images can be seen in the reflections of mirrors or other reflecting surfaces, or on a printed surface seen inside-out.
If we first look at an object that is effectively two-dimensional (such as the writing on a card) and then turn the card to face a mirror, the object turns through an angle of 180° and we see a left-right reversal in the mirror. In this example, it is the change in orientation rather than the mirror itself that causes the observed reversal. Another example is when we stand with our backs to the mirror and face an object that's in front of the mirror. Then we compare the object with its reflection by turning ourselves 180°, towards the mirror. Again we perceive a left-right reversal due to a change in our orientation. So, in these examples the mirror does not actually cause the observed reversals.
Trinity Bridge (Troitskiy Most) is a bascule bridge across the Neva in Saint Petersburg. It connects Kamennoostrovsky Prospect with Suvorov Square. It was the third permanent bridge across the Neva, built between 1897 and 1903 by the French firm Société de Construction des Batignolles. It is 582 meters (1,909 ft) long and 23.6 meters (77 ft) wide. The bridge takes its name from the Old Trinity Cathedral which used to stand at its northern end. In the 20th century, it was known as Equality Bridge (1918–1934) and Kirovsky Bridge (1934–1999).
In 1803, the Voskresensky ponton bridge, which was built in 1786 near Voskresensky Prospect (now Chernyshevsky Prospect), was moved to the Summer Garden. In 1825, the pontoon Suvorovsky Bridge was built to link Suvorov Square with Troitskaya (Trinity) Square. In 1892, a contest for constructing a permanent Troitsky Bridge was announced. There were 16 entrants from local and European engineers, including one from the French engineer Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. The winner was the out-of-competition conception by Paul-Joseph Bodin aided by Arthur Flachet, Vincent Chabrol, and Claude Patouillard from the French Société de Construction des Batignolles. Some contributions to their proposal were provided by a team of local engineers. A special commission from the Imperial Academy of Arts, including Leon Benois also participated in the project. Construction began on 12 August 1897. Félix Faure, the president of France was present at the ceremony. In the same political spirit, Nicholas II laid the foundation stone for the Pont Alexandre III in Paris, another memorial to the Franco-Russian Alliance. The bridge was completed in 1903, in time for the 200-year anniversary of Saint Petersburg.
Originally the bridge had nine spans. Five of these were permanent metallic riveted spans, with novel console-arch-beam systems and gradually increasing span length from banks to the middle of the river. A three-arch granite viaduct linked the metallic central section to the right bank, and a two-winged bascule span joined it to the left bank. The design of the central spans, in which single uncut girders bridge more than one span, significantly relieves the stress on the central part of the arches, decreasing the support required in the river and giving the span structures a gentle arch shape. The bridge is decorated with cast iron gratings with artistic casting, granite pylons with lanterns and metallic three-colour lanterns in the Art Nouveau style. The obelisks flanking the entrance to the bridge from Suvorov Square were remodeled in 1955. In 1965–1967 the bascule span was rebuilt as a one-winged, lifting design. Its length was extended to 43 meters (141 ft) and its appearance modelled on the other metal spans. A granite arch slope was set on the left bank. During the reconstruction water slopes were enlarged and granite benches were set along left bank abutment.

Wherever we live we create visual references of an alternative world. These symbolic markers function as 'gates' or 'portals' into a world that is different from what we normally experience. Here, a stained glass window in St. Peter and St. Paul's (Olney) depicting John Newton, once a curate here, the writer of the text of the church hymn "Amazing Grace" of 1772. Newton used to be a slave trader, even after his first conversion, but then, after his second conversion that relieved him from a selfish kind of spirituality, he became an abolitionist. Amazing grace "that saved a wretch like me", he wrote. There is a parallel world out there, waiting for us, behind the portal.

I just came to see THE VENUS OF VALDIVIA and was ecstatic with so much art in this fabulous little museum.
***
The Valdivia culture is one of the oldest settled cultures recorded in the Americas. It emerged from the earlier Las Vegas culture and thrived on the Santa Elena peninsula near the modern-day town of Valdivia, Ecuador between 3500 BC and 1500 BC.
***
The trademark Valdivia piece is the "Venus" of Valdivia: feminine ceramic figures. The "Venus" of Valdivia likely represented actual people, as each figurine is individual and unique, as expressed in the hairstyles. The figures were made joining two rolls of clay, leaving the lower portion separated as legs and making the body and head from the top portion. The arms were usually very short, and in most cases were bent towards the chest, holding the breasts or under the chin.

Valdivia
(ca. 3500 – 1500 a.C.)
Valdivia is the most ancient culture of sedentary agriculturalists and potters who inhabited the present territory of Ecuador, and one of the earliest culture in South America.
The ruins of Valdivian towns are located along the river basins of the Ecuadorian coastal strip. This fact leads us to draw the conclusion that this people could take advantage of the fertile river plains for agricultural purposes, as gardening was their most important subsistence activity. Valdivian inhabitants cultivated Indian corn (maíz), kidney beans (fréjol), cassava, cotton-plants and archira (plant of the Cannacae family whose roots are edible). The diet was complemented with game (specially deer) and offshore fishing. They also practiced the gathering of molluscs and crustaceans along the beach, in mangrooves and estuaries.
The houses were built orderly around a ceremonial square. Thus, a large village was formed, which become the nucleus of numberless small hamlets.

Fall, Leaves, Fall
Emily Brontë
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
From A Poem for Every Night of the Year
