The world is always watching. What happens when we watch back? This is a piece of "Through the Circle," my photo/art project about reflection. This is your own mirror. Stick it. Shoot it. Share what you see. Medium: Photography on sheet metal Snacks, drinks, music, community FREE Artist Statement: Dave Rayfield In a world designed to watch, I’ve learned to watch back. This body of work explores the unintended beauty found in convex security mirrors, those circular sentinels fixed to corners, ceilings, and alleyways. Captured in stark black and white, these 80 photographs are not just reflections of the physical world, but portals into the unnoticed layers of modern life. Framed by the curve of the mirror, the city folds into itself, distorted, duplicated, isolated. In every image, I invite the viewer to pause, to see not just what is reflected, but how we are reflected. These mirrors do not protect or judge; they simply witness. Through this project, I am asking a quiet question: When we see ourselves being seen, what is revealed? Why choose The Metta Space to feature your art collection? Proud to find The Metta Space and owner Victor Nguyen to be a welcoming incubator to hold space to offer this collection of art.
