About the artwork

In this sparkling black-and-white image, the magic of Christmas is captured by a woman's large pair of black sunglasses giving a unique, almost dreamy view of the festive season. The glasses are no ordinary accessory; the lenses contain a surprising detail: Christmas trees appear in their reflection, as if the woman is looking at the world of the festive season through a special lens. This subtle but magical element gives her gaze something mystical, as if she herself were part of a Christmas miracle.

The woman is wearing a sophisticated white lace blouse that gives her look a timeless elegance. Her hair is decorated with a beautiful mixture of white and grey poinsettias, which give her an almost ethereal look, as if she is the incarnation of the Christmas spirit itself. The flowers radiate warmth and provide a nice contrast to the cool, wintry atmosphere around her. Her look is further complete with the glasses, which shield her eyes and give her face a mysterious allure, while highlighting the festive elements of her surroundings.

In the background, green Christmas trees sparkle, richly decorated with baubles that fill the room with the atmosphere of the festive season. The bright baubles almost seem to dance in the soft light, adding a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise serene setting. The whole place exudes an atmosphere of cosiness, warmth and wonder, typical of the Christmas season.

"Christmas in the Looking Glass" is a visual ode to the magic of Christmas captured through a woman's eyes. Her glasses act as a metaphorical "looking glass" through which she perceives the Christmas world not only physically, but also through the lens of her own dreams and expectations. The image invites the viewer to experience the holidays not only with the eye, but also with the heart - as if we can all catch a piece of the magic by standing still for a moment and looking at the wonder in our surroundings.
