The reflection or mirror image is the thread running through Reflections. In Reflections, we not only takes shape in mirrors but also in objects and surfaces created by glass and polished metal, showing the light reflecting qualities of both and the way mirror images emerge literally and incidentally. One of the motivating contexts of Reflections is Belgium’s history-making relationship with glass that continues to this day. Over a century ago, in 1903, Belgian engineers Emile Fourcault and Emile Gobbe invented the first mechanical system for the production of glass: the automatic vertical pulling of glass.

Mirrors are represented here in all shapes and sizes: flat glass objects, free-standing mirrors, or those that combine other functions. The mirror is a mysterious and very symbolically charged object. Reflections features each and every kind of mirrors, designs that play with the image and its double as well as light reflection. The other category of objects in Reflections is those that create a reflection or mirror image, but were developed for other purposes.
