”Ella”
Photography/Installation
Behind the Mirror is a posthumous exhibit by the artist known as Ella.
This work was shaped from a life lived in close proximity—standing just behind. From that place, Ella explored what it means to be seen without being centered.
At the heart of this exhibit is the quiet, unwavering bond between Ella and Lucy. A relationship formed through routine and intimacy, within the fast, furious pace of a world that can be thrilling—until it isn’t. Lucy saw the cost long before it was visible. She stayed. She intervened. She saved a life.
Behind the Mirror is about devotion without spectacle, and the people who stand closest when everything is at risk.
