Behind the Mirror is a communication installation composed of two Two Way Glass Mirrors and two monitors. The people on the opposite side of the installation can only see themselves in the mirror at first, but when they communicate by touching the buttons around the mirror, they can finally see each other in the mirror.

The fear of not getting a response and the fear of being deceived is the social conflicts of many people. We are all eager to establish a link of trust with each other. Behind the Mirror is intended to be a way of dialogue that can confirm each other's minds. By initiating or accepting invitations and confirming the other's "key", both parties can see each other in the end. At the same time, it also wants to express that the establishment of a relationship requires the joint efforts of both parties, and the firm choice and understanding of each other is the "private key" into the other's heart.
