Altered Perspectives and other works

Often, I find myself now reflecting on Joni Mitchell’s words,
“ I’ve looked at life from both sides now...”

It is certainly full of illusions & clouds do get in the way.

We never see ourselves as others see us. We only catch glimpses of ourselves experiencing life in photographs, Zoom presentations, reflections in mirrors and glass windows, as we pass by experiencing moments of extreme joy, anger and sorrow. So, who really knows us best? Ourselves, our siblings and intimate partners, friends or our children? We could all be illusions to ourselves.
