Why does my reflection look different than me? Every day we use a mirror to examine our appearance and thus our own perception as well as the perception of others. But does the mirror really show us the reality? Do we really see ourselves in the mirror as other
Reflecting on the Past or the Future
Sometimes when you are struggling to find inspiration for a theme something just happens and presents itself as the perfect thought. I have been dealing with getting my mother settled into a new lifestyle and this meant clearing out years of memories. When going through a pile of
Reflections in the Koi Pond
I looked through my photographs for images relating to reflection. Because I live in Florida, with water all around, I had plenty of inspiring images. The beach, the lake nearby, ponds near the bike trail, all provide beautiful scenes of reflections on water. I settled on
Looking at reflections
When we got the theme “Reflection” I was in the middle of an artist residency. This residency was close to my hometown, on the coast of Nova Scotia. The setting was beautiful, I worked in a barn overlooking the ocean and an inlet. I was working there

Reflection of What?
It’s my turn to blog about the reflection prompt. The last prompt was identity, and I created a self-portrait. I did a lot of reflecting when I created that piece. If I were back in college, I would have reworked the project for this class. But that’s not the
Bending back
How do I feel when I hear or read the word REFLECTION? How does it relate to our overall theme “community” – and where do I see a connection? First of all, at least in the German language, I have to consider how to spell it correctly. In
Oops, mea culpa ….
I definitely need some self-reflection regarding my agenda. Although there was in it that I needed to produce a blog yesterday, it didn’t happen. It sure is better to look in your agenda every now and then. Recently I had an exhibition in a local art centre. Because of that
Faith and more
When I started thinking about Lisa’s prompt of Reflection and community I immediately had lots of ideas: mirror reflection; thinking about past, present and future; thinking about people or events; thinking about what person am I: how do I belong?; then how they would relate to different communities. This led me to
Reflection
Serious scientific definition – Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. Or you can be reflective in your
