From Where I Stand — Fabienne Lévy
Looking at this painting by Amit Berman, I am struck by something very simple. A man looks into a mirror, yet there is no reflection.
I cannot help but think of what is happening around us. The revolts, the anger, the divisions we see in the streets. Everyone seems so certain of their own truth, so absorbed in their own reflection, that we are slowly losing the ability to see one another. I believe in the importance of standing up for what we believe in. But I also wonder what happens when our convictions leave no room for anyone else’s.
Perhaps what touches me most in this painting is precisely what is missing. A reflection.
