Thinking of David Creedon and his photo collection - Ghosts of the Faithful Departed -
where he has a series of derelict and deserted houses, each giving the viewer a glimpse of an ordinary, everyday life that no longer exists. Homes and belongings that to the inhabitant were of great significance and importance now just left abandonded and unwanted. Very thought provoking, sad but beautiful images.
With this theme in mind I decided to experiment with a similar theme - old photos - family snaps - and place them so they were visible through the cracks in the mirror, to show that these moments can never be recreated (people have grown older, some have died, some of the particular locations don't even exist anymore) like the shattered mirror, can never be reassembled.
