Mirror Temple

A sacred, broken space where reflections live, the architecture emphasizes disorientation and spiritual decay. A warm, ethereal glow around the flower contrasts with the cold, hard surfaces. It symbolizes beauty and inner light. The ancient Greek myth of Narcissus inspires it, showing a flower (Narcissus) growing in this temple as part of a symbolism from a reimagined version of the story, where the gods cursed Narcissus to fall in love with his reflection in the mirror. Narcissus died after not being able to let his reflection go, leaving a flower in his place. This place is considered timeless but still inspired by Greek and surreal architecture. All living reflections remain inside this temple, including Narcissus’ reflection.
