Chapter 12 Header

Narcissus, the Greek Dude who fell in love with his reflection… I always liked this particular rendering by Caravaggio! Of course, in my ‘parody’ of it, it's not exactly a perfect reflection staring back at Kimber Lee. Of course there's a loose tie-in (maybe in my own head), and anyone is free to guess. Chapter 12 pages kicking off soon - still got a bit of Judging and Presentations to do. Thanks for Reading Everyone!

I've never seen this painting before and it's certainly a fascinating one! I really like your own interpretation too, in fact I prefer it! It's also an interesting observation on how we view ourselves. The seriously ill may feel they project a healthier image than they really do and those who look a picture of health in the mirror may in fact be masking a greater concern like chronic depression or cancer fears. This is what art is truly about, connecting and stimulating the thoughts and emotions of others.

Who is the real Kimber? Would she want to be free of the Godstrain, and become sick again? Powerful image, and yet another facet to the story and character. Bravissimo!

What you see is not reality, but the idea you have of reality… so, you're not seeing me naked, but your idea of my nakedness… I wish you had bigger ideas…

Let me reflect a while... then we can pool our thoughts.

Is it time for Kimber Lee to wake up?

Which side of this mirror is real? A stark, haunting image!

How well does the mirror's reflection reflect the real world? What is reflected and what is perceived can be two different things narcissist or not.

Outstanding. Never look too closely in the mirror. Might not like what you see. Of course she sees more than her physical reflection. Perhaps things in her soul and personality no one should see.

I love your symbolic paintings. Caravaggio is one of my favorite artists!
