Berman-Tarnish-Mirror-closeup.png

Multiple triangles fabricated from pre-printed, recycled steel containers. The images of women are vintage decals. The pre-printed steel is cut, folded, and riveted together. The center "mirror" is oxidized tin cans. It is reflective but tarnished. 

Like much of my work, this mirror is both autobiographical and universal. How many times have you felt strong, powerful, and beautiful until you looked in the mirror? How does this affect our self-esteem when we compare ourselves to the images of women from media advertising, magazines, television, and movies. They have professional photographers, lighting, professional make-up, hairstylists, and wardrobe consultants.
