The Mirror is a student exhibition featuring 17 artists from Cañada College. Each work incorporates a mirror as a central element of the composition — not merely as a reflective surface, but as a physical object with edges, context, and presence. The result is a series of layered compositions that invite the viewer to cycle in and out of each painting.
