Tozoon mirror
When man starts his life course, he sees himself reduced to an extremely basic figure. However, this figure is already a bearer of the “gene” that is going to shape him till his death. Here, it`s proposed the reflexion upon the importance of this conscience. This man sees himself reflected in the same object in two different ways, not only with the appearance and complexity of the moment but also with the “shape” and simplicity of his origin.
