"Oblivion" is wall mounted mirror that creates an illusion through be motorized. The mirror slowly rotates or moves side by side while the reflection in the mirror is still, so the viewer will not notice whether the mirror is moving, and hence the looker fall easily into the act of narcissism. This illusion highlights how the viewer's perspective is narrowed down to the self in an obsessive sense and answers my continuous quest to understand the relationship between the self and others.
