This sculpture is about losing our individuality, as its face is brutally cut with a mirror of gold. We cannot look into its eyes, and the reflection we see will always be a look through the golden filter of consumption. “Social Mirror” is therefore a question and a story about the pursuit of the only pattern imposed on us by the river of our epoch and its “mainstream”. Do you go into the same mainstream river with others? Do you appreciate what makes you different from others? Are you following the expectations and patterns of your times? Are you afraid of being unfashionable? Do you still feel yourself and have your own will? Looking into your eyes, will I see an exceptional man there or will I see the hackneyed opinions of the general public? Will you look at my face or just my golden reflection as you are looking at me through the filter of consumption?
