Item description
A photograph showing the reflection of a mirror. The mirror has a brownish-red frame, and the outer border of the glass is painted with swirls of blue and gold to resemble Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night”. In the reflection is a white woman sitting on a dark plaid patterned couch, wearing brown pants and a gray shirt with shoulder-length brown hair, looking to the right. Behind the couch, on the wall are shelves filled with fake plants.

Untitled 1

Fanny Haushalter

During the pandemic, I found myself creating a lot to not spiral down with my anxiety. I tried as many new things as I could (crafting, knitting, etc.) because I needed to have creative projects to complete, I needed to keep busy.
For the drawing of the Fates, I was working on my novel, and I wrote this sentence "She pictured the Fates cutting sharply the threads, sending Nebulas to collapse in waves of pearls on the shore", and I knew I had to draw something because I loved this sentence so much. Later I transferred it on a tote bag.
As for the photograph, I found an old mirror when cleaning the attic at my dad's house and I decided to start painting on it because it is something I had been wanted to do for a long time. Then, once it was done, I thought that I would organize a kind of photoshoot by myself to immortalize it. I thought it was the right moment to take a picture of the fake plants as well.
