Through the destruction and reconstruction of mirror fragments, Martina Fasano creates art that draws viewers in and invites them to see themselves as part of the work. In this state of reflection, they are encouraged to enter into a dialogue with their inner worlds and reconsider their self-perception, while seeing themselves as part of a greater, interconnected whole.
Martina uses broken mirrors that are either intentionally shattered or salvaged from discarded pieces are then transformed and arranged on the canvas to create into intricate, symbolic interconnected patterns. This act of reassembly embodies resilience and reveals the beauty found within brokenness and imperfection.
