Sometimes their reflection is a double, at other times it may be a near relative. Thoughts of identity crises and class divides abound, as well as ideas of life and death, inhaling and exhaling, conscious and unconscious, reflection and shadow. At times there is a sense of a dark psychological undertow, an underlying threat; at other times, just reflected glory.
