I saw this piece in the Art21 series, episode called memory. It is a collection of reflective objects placed in a reflective box. The viewer sees into the box via a two-way mirror. I think what has always attracted me about artists is that they are all so different from each other compared to other cultures such as politics, or sciences. Great art simply offers a new way of thinking. A new reflection of life.

From "Everything Is Illuminated"

by Johnathan Safran Foer

"God loves the plagiarist. And so it is written,"God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them." God is the original plagiarizer. With a lack of reasonable sources from which to filch- man created in the image of what? the animals?- the creation of man was an act of reflexive plagiarizing. God looted the mirror. When we plagiarize, we are likewise creating in the image and participating in the completion of Creation."
