Look At The Mirror
To exist where the gaze cannot reach
Welcome.
This is my photo book ‘LOOK AT THE MIRROR’.
This work is about ‘me’, and about a voice that is often unheard: the asexual community.
The world begins when we see ourselves reflected in the mirror—we come to feel our existence through the gaze of others. But what if I belong to what lies beyond that gaze? What if the self I encounter in the mirror is only the version permitted to appear in public, the version acknowledged by discourse?
Through this work, I invite you to begin to look at the mirror, and, to see asexuality.
Postscript
In the end, the mirror no longer asks to be answered.
What remains is neither visibility nor refusal, neither recognition nor its failure. It is a way of being that does not depend on being seen, named, or confirmed.
This work gestures toward asexuality not as absence or lack, but as a mode of existence that resists the demand to appear.
If something here resists clarity, let it do so. Not everything must return anything. Not every self is meant to appear.
