MIRROR ( 01 )

The MIRROR ( 01 ) introduces reflection as both a material and conceptual counterpoint within the Burnt Wood Collection. Framed in burnt ash and oak, its surface carries the visible traces of fire — cracks, charred layers, and irregular textures — marking a moment of deliberate destruction that gives rise to a new form.The dark, scorched wood absorbs light, while the reflective surface returns it, creating a tension between opacity and clarity, absence and presence. This contrast reinforces the collection’s core idea: transformation through destruction, where what is altered becomes a foundation rather than a loss.Rooted in Japanese philosophy, the mirror embraces imperfection as a means of revealing truth. The burned frame holds time, process, and fragility, while the reflective plane invites introspection — positioning the viewer within the narrative of change. The mirror becomes not only an object, but a moment of awareness, where material transformation and self-reflection meet.
