“Mirror” created by Merrick d’Arcy-Irvine and Julia Bajanova and published by the contemporary publishing house DCV, is an art book where two artistic disciplines, photography and textile design, reflect and amplify one another. This project explores the concept of fluidity and connection, blending manual processes with a visceral inquiry that evokes vital and biological elements. Through a tension between beauty and unease, the artists subvert the delicate qualities of the materials to create works that evoke emotional and sensory intensity. With an aesthetic that touches on the primordial and the abstract, Mirror represents a reflection not only on form but also on the relationship between matter and life.
