I really like Marion Fayolle's "The Mirror." To
me, it shows a man walking up to the mirror admiring himself which maybe gives
a narcissistic expression on the character. Then you see a woman who sees the
man looking in the mirror and she appears to show some anger or jealousy and
throws the stone at both the man and mirror. She gets other women to help her
collect the broken glass and they all use the fragments to make artwork.
I
think this expresses how the woman felt angry that the man was so intrigued by
himself instead of the woman so she used the stone to get rid of the man and
used him for her art piece to tell a story. I really like it because its a
visual story without words. Words would tell you exactly what is going on but I
think the artist doesn't add text for a reason. She wants us to know ourselves
just by looking at the images and she wants us to tell the story.
