If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.” ― Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays


If there's one thing we can learn from Kusama, it's to make the most of reflection. Be that the person we see in the mirror or our inner selves. 












Sure there are physical limitations, or flaws, but we can work with them until we see 'more' to it. 

"Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image". Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



Dazzle with colour or vibrancy, complicate the image with depths beyond the immediate surface.

Take something small and make it MORE. Amplify your good qualities. Sparkle and shine.

"Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative - don't wait for someone else to ask you to act." Sylvia Earle





"We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay - and rise!" Maya Angelou
