A woman turns a mirror towards the viewer, breaking up the solid environment. She interacts with the landscape she wanders in, blending into the background, changing with scale, or holding a part of the landscape itself. 
    These women misleadingly appear docile, yet possess a strong power, the focus being on their performance. The mirror serves as an illusion to show off their power by changing the landscape at will.
     Using film photography with no digital manipulation, I challenge the notion of the landscape by referencing what makes a photograph: the women use their mirror to re-frame what I have framed and capture in their mirror like a camera captures in the lens.
