When we think of selfies, we often think of lifeless self-portraits absent of anything but surface-level meaning. But within this form lies the potential for a transformative canvas, which artist Mirrors Me (aka Helen Meldahl) uses to turn selfies into memorable pieces of art.
Setting the stage by drawing on the mirrors used in the photographs, Meldahl turns selfies into colorful adventures, fairy tales, and iconic moments:
