Certified Realities is a series that delves into the realm of surreality by seamlessly merging the physical world with reflective elements. The project creates an optical illusion, inviting viewers to embrace the illusion as an integral part of their reality. Conceived in 2012, the series relies on key reflective surfaces such as window glass, stainless steel, and ceramic tiles. These elements are strategically positioned to project a continuous image that intertwines reflections with the physical environment, resulting in a captivating interplay between reality and its reflections. The buildings and windows of New York City serve as essential components in crafting this illusional experience, engaging the audience in a dialogue that blurs the boundaries between the seen and the perceived.
