Table of Contents 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.
Here's a short video clip of my performance at Bing Concert Hall (Stanford University):

From perfomance at Bing Concert HallAbout to perform "Mirrors" from inside the box
During construction outside the Stanford PRL (Product Realization Lab)Believe it or not, I stored all of this wood in my dorm room! Forever grateful to my roommate
Small scale model of mirror reflectionsA hexagonal box of one way mirror film attached to clear acrylic sheets
View of the base from aboveThe entire structure is extremely modular, consisting of (many copies of) just a few distinct parts
Almost fully constructed box, outside Haus Mitt dorm at StanfordThis was the first time I'd stood inside!
