How many times have you seen you today? The fact is, the modern mirror as we know it today didn’t arrive until 1835, which means throughout most of history, people have been getting damn creative to know what they look like – if that’s what they were really looking for at all. The mirror’s relationship with reflection made it an object of both spirituality and wealth; a tool for practical science, and vanity alike. The story of how we got to the modern mirror reflects more than just technological innovation: it’s the key ingredient to humanity’s ever-blossoming love affair with itself, equal parts enlightening and delusional.
