Hello, citizens of Acity!
Today’s work, [Glass Maze], was written based on the Mirror Stage theory of the French psychoanalyst and philosopher Jacques Lacan. Lacan argued that while humans rejoice at the perfect image of themselves in a mirror, the actual self remains fragmented, which marks the beginning of the ego's split. This project visualizes the gap between a perfectly designed external image and the internal self through reflections in glass, mirror afterimages, and shadows sliced by blinds.
The line "Lost inside the reflection, Glass Maze!" in the lyrics sings of the self-portrait of modern individuals wandering through a forest of imagery. Furthermore, the declaration "Finding who I am through the frames in the night" reflects the intellectual attitude of a designer who seeks to interrogate her own truth, even within a labyrinth where no fixed answers exist.
The brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. Within the glamorous lighting and the glass maze, which way does your true face look? Between reflected perfection and fragmented existence, I hope you enjoy a time of pleasant contemplation as you face the true contours of your being.

00:10Blinding spotlight pouring down like a cage
00:14A thousand reflections of me scattered across the glass page
00:31A sharp shadow stripes cutting through the blind
00:33Under the glare lies the smile you wish to find
00:36Beyond the glass, the other me stares back with a different view
