- "Where I End and You Begin, " Contemporary Fine Art MirrorBy Alina BisikirskaiteLocated in Westport, CTThis contemporary mixed media piece is made with mixed media on a circular mirror.

It has no beginning or end, and no divisions, making it the perfect symbol of completeness. Each uniquely different in the use of color, composition and nature of experience it brings while standing in front it. I like the idea of interactive art...Category
