She stares in the mirror, in remembrance of her future death. The mirror is old and flaking off. We are behind it, and catch her gaze through the slivers that still remain. She wandered the paths and now stands frozen. She is not awake, and unaware of the fact that she is observed herself by whom she was before. The mirror is a cave. There is no trespassing possible. We can see her, but she cannot see us. She stares inwards herself, in limbo, and waits.
— Gaston Meskens
