Why It Matters, Why We Need This Idea, What Problem Can This Idea Solve

In an era dominated by surface-level appearances and quick judgments, this project challenges our tendency to accept first impressions. It encourages deeper reflection on how much of what we see—or show—is an illusion. It cultivates mindfulness, empathy, and a richer understanding of identity through the metaphor of mirrors.
