Mirror, Mirror is an ongoing WIP series documenting young women interacting in Summit One Vanderbilt, the latest tourist destination in NYC. Located 93+ floors up, it is a multi-cardinal directional view of the NYC skyline, opposing floor to ceiling mirrors from every other angle. 

The photographs of these young women reflect on looking vs. being looked at. How has social media fueled how we see ourselves vs. how we are seen? The young women here act as a looking glass, speaking for a youth that we’ve never seen before. 

From fashion to identity, the work aims to show an acceleration of what girlhood into adulthood looks like today. As diptychs, the pairings intentionally mirror each other. Whether the similarity between subjects, or the person to the abstract, the images cast light on current times of what it means to be a young woman today. Perhaps a nod to a global hegemony, or social media’s affect on vanity, the series acts as tangible representation of the society of the spectacle.
