My Box of Mirrors is a performance structure I designed and built to accompany a song of mine called "Mirrors", which uses the infinite reflections of a box of mirrors as a metaphor for identity. The box has six one-way mirror panels that create infinite reflections visible from the outside. The panels fold down to let the person inside the box step out.

Believe it or not, I stored all of this wood in my dorm room! Forever grateful to my roommate

The entire structure is extremely modular, consisting of (many copies of) just a few distinct parts

This was the first time I'd stood inside!
