93/100 - Behind the mirror
It's a bit of a stretch, but I was thinking this character would be holding a mirror and we would a get a view from behind the mirror itself, a view of a distant landscape. But he could also be wearing a mask that covers the main part of his face. A mask that doubles as a mirror.
This is one of those partially baked concepts I keep on circling around, the relationship between mirrors and identity. I don't have any wisdom to impart here other than how strange I find it that mirrors are the main way we know what we look like, but they offer only one perspective. Video is a bit different and I'm usually shocked to see myself on video, "I didn't know I looked like that" is what most often goes through my mind.
Proof of this obsession is a doodle from several years ago:
And the answer is double because yes, that is you in the mirror, and no, that is just an image of you, and illusion, a lie. Which is why I love that the magic mirror in Snow White is supposed to never lie.
I'm going to leave you with two mirror related facts: one, our beloved magpie is the first non-mammal to have been found to be able to recognize itself in the mirror, which is, you know, another great reason to love magpies; and two, Snow White's magic mirror may have been based on an actual talking mirror that can still be seen at the Spessart Museum in the Lohr Castle in Germany.
