Identity Complex Mirror © 2002-2004 by Harriete Estel Berman

This wall piece is a commentary about how women perceive beauty in our society.

This is a close-up of the writing on a mirror. In this view it says, "Stand that person in," "reduce the appearance of fine lines,"

The entire statement written around the mirror in lettering from recycled tin cans:
Can’t stand that person in the mirror, Make me over, paint my face, airbrush my blemish, color my hair, Botox my wrinkles, reduce the appearance of fine lines, erase the circles under my eyes, tattoo my lips, pencil my brows, masque my imperfections, whiten my teeth, soft focus, perfect lighting. Am I visibly firm? Is there an age defying complex?

Magnifying mirror in the center surrounded by oval “mirror” constructed from the shiny bottoms of recycled tin containers.

Lettering on the mirror & frame from recycled tin containers, stainless steel screws, aluminum rivets, 10k gold rivets.

33.25” height x 25” width x 1.5” depth (approximate)
