Espejo Herido Xv by Manuel Rivera (1990)

A fractured mirror reveals a hidden depth in Espejo Herido Xv. Manuel Rivera's creation invites contemplation through its broken reflection, where each shard tells a silent story. The artwork's title, translating to 'Wounded Mirror,' hints at the fragility and resilience embedded within its frame. The composition is a dance of sharp edges and muted reflections. Cracks spiderweb across the surface, their paths unpredictable yet deliberate. Beneath the fractures, a subdued palette of grays and silvers emerges, punctuated by the occasional glint of light that escapes the broken glass. The contrast between the mirror's reflective nature and its shattered state creates a tension that is both unsettling and intriguing. This poster finds its place in spaces that welcome introspection. A quiet corner, a study, or a hallway can become a sanctuary for thought, where the wounded mirror reflects not just light, but the viewer's own contemplations.
