The Mirror and the Distance
Between who we are and who we imagine ourselves to be lies a vast, unmeasured territory. We see our reflection in glass, in still water, in the expectations of those around us, and yet there is always an empty floor between the observer and the image. That gap is not an absence to be mourned; it is the arena of our freedom. It is in the space between our physical body and our reflected self that thought occurs, where conscience awakens, where we decide whether to close the distance or remain content in our solitude. To stand beside your own image is to ask: which one of us is real?
Arun M Shobh presents a minimalist, philosophically charged composition in The Void in Between. Its clean geometry invites deep introspection. What thoughts surface when you look across your own reflection?
