A little bit of you in everyone.

ReflectingYOU is an experiential photographic project that goes beyond the surface.

Imagine capturing the essence of human connections in a single image. That's the magic of ReflectingYOU, where stunning portraits seamlessly blend two individuals into one, revealing a powerful reflection of our shared humanity.

Forget digital manipulation, postproduction, and special effects. ReflectingYOU harnesses the raw power of photography to showcase each person's unique beauty while simultaneously sparking a visual conversation about equality. Each captivating portrait celebrates the individual yet whispers the truth: we see ourselves reflected in one another.

Creative Process: Revealing the Hidden Connection

What appears as a single captivating portrait is a mesmerizing illusion. ReflectingYOU utilizes a unique, one-shot approach, capturing two individuals simultaneously in a single photograph.

The magic unfolds on set. One participant holds a mirror, their reflection becoming the "face" of the portrait. The other participant provides the "body." This captivating process continues, with each participant contributing a piece to the next portrait, forming a chain of connections that could extend indefinitely.

ReflectingYOU is a never-ending journey of connection, weaving together the portraits of individuals within a company, school, neighbourhood, or even the entire world. This innovative project fosters a sense of community and belonging, showcasing the shared humanity that binds us all.

Experience: Beyond the Portrait

ReflectingYOU prompts us to question the boundaries of self with the thought-provoking question, "Where do I end, and others begin?"

The journey is as significant as the destination. Working together face-to-face, participants are not just subjects but collaborators, sparking introspection about perceived differences and fostering empathy, understanding, and respect.

Imagine an ever-evolving exhibition where visitors become the art. The artists create a welcoming studio, inviting everyone to participate and adding unique pieces to the story. Each visit feels fresh, as the exhibit consistently transforms with new portraits, ensuring no two visits are identical.

The ambition? To expand this transformative experience globally, fostering an ongoing aural and visual dialogue. Each encounter expands a vast visual record of human connection, celebrating our shared humanity for generations to come.

Aim: The Depths of Human Connection

The project champions inclusion and trust, fostering a sense of belonging regardless of background.

"You" is both singular and collective. ReflectingYOU celebrates the beauty of uniqueness while highlighting our human connections. As we peel back layers of perceived differences, we discover the common ground that unites us all, regardless of race, gender, class, nationality, religion, or sexuality.

Humans are different pieces of the same puzzle, ultimately forming a complete picture. ReflectingYOU strives to reveal this truth by offering a conscious shared experience. This eye-to-eye dialogue culminates in a lasting visual artwork, a testament to the powerful bonds that connect us all.
