Mirrors can reflect the essence of who we are, and the changes we make can collect the Individual, giving him a lease on living - which is not life as he sees, but as it is without him in the way.

The "I" collected can live in wardrobes and beautiful pictures, or it can be a living thing, and embody life on its own.

It is the cheat of the century, that there is life if only we'd craft it ourselves, or get out of its way.
