A lush, regal facade of suspended gold mirrors and delicate bows that evoke a high-fashion “sweetness” curated for the superficial gaze. However, the “salty” subtext weaponizes the mirror; rather than reflecting the viewer, the frames house realistic eyes that stare back, transforming a moment of vanity into one of digital surveillance. The carefully designed background, a vintage damask pattern, hinting at a microchip or motherboard design, alludes to technocracy where every connection is tracked and harnessed, including nature. While the bluebirds escape this grid to represent a fleeting glimpse of true freedom, the viewer remains a suspended ornament, trapped within a digital unreality where privacy is being eroded.
