“Explicitly quoting the “Mirrored Cubes” of minimalist artist Robert Morris, this artwork challenges the clear aesthetics of the four mirrored cubes placed in a gallery. Unlike Morris’ cubes, the “Broken Mirrored Cubes” stand densely packed, separated only by a narrow gap. Their surfaces reflect the wall and also the floor of the space, causing the cubes to appear transparent from a certain viewpoint. In an additional, irritating contrast, their splintered surface fragments the reflections on the cubes, breaking the clean, smooth elegance of the mirrored planes.”
