Celina Odeh’s Mirror Building is an interactive multi-media photography exhibition on

the observance of ritual manifestation as it relates to sight. By using mirrors as a matte

and framing device for portraits of body builders in moments of rest, Celina invites

viewership and highlights the emotion of comparisons silhouette: “Judgment”.

Body builders here are used to represent the discipline, proving a physique this extreme

can only be actualized through ritual and work. Nothing else can render these results.

Drawing from the competition element of body building, Celina aims to recreate the

same spectacle of self by positioning the viewer next to the image through the reflection

of the mirror, encouraging pervasive self communication.

In these pieces the subjects are posed in relaxed positions with gazes that extend

beyond frame as if looking at the mirror part of overall piece. The head and face are

facing away from camera to illustrate that in body building the face is the only thing you

cant change. Theatre lighting is brought into the home to replicate on stage competition

awareness.

Through this series Celina explores manifestation as a science of tomorrow and the

mirror as the manifestation of today, in other words, this could be you.
