Glass unbound, reflection freed, truth beyond surface.
Mirrors were once rare, held as tools of divination and self-knowledge. To release a mirror was to let go of appearances and illusions.
Freedom, authenticity, clarity. The mirror released symbolises breaking from false images to see what is real.
It speaks of releasing self-judgement and stories that no longer define us, so the true self can appear.
Stand before a mirror. Breathe deeply. Ask: what reflection am I ready to let go of now?
The mirror released endures because each generation must free itself from illusion to discover truth.
