Statement from Mexic-Arte literature:

"In the sculptural montage presented in this exhibition, García explores the theme of self-examination and societal expectations, producing a work that fits into his overall study of culture and society."

This piece was the first of many I created after a lengthy period of insecurity and introspection. The images represented around the exterior of the mirror are of parts of my physical being of which I have been insecure about at one point or another in my life. Some dating back to early childhood (paging Dr. Freud). Others are more recent.

Through this piece I wanted to explore them, and to bring myself face to face with them. Pardon the pun.
