DEEP LOOK

身体の力を抜き、鏡に映る自分をじっと深く見つめてみる。鏡に映る自分は僅かながら過去の自分。この鏡で過去の自分と見つめ続けると、だんだんと見え方が変化していることに気づくでしょう。ある物体を視線を動かさずに見つめ続けると視界が暗くなり最終的には何も見えなくなることがある。それは眼球内の網膜が、見た物体の刺激を受けるのに慣れてしまい脳が何も見えていないと誤認識してしまうから。「見つめる」という行為によって起こる現象を介し、鏡に映る、過去の自分と深く見つめ合い自分自身を見つめ直してみて欲しい。
Remove the power of the body. Stare deeply at yourself in the mirror. You are reflected in the mirror. If you keep looking at yourself with this mirror in the past, you will notice that the way you look is changing. If you keep looking at an object without moving your line of sight, the field of view becomes dark. Eventually nothing can be seen. Inside the eyeball, there is the retina, which get used to the stimulation of the objects you see. Your brain misrecognizes it as the objects doesn’t exist any longer. Through the phenomenon that happens by the act of “Staring ”, you deeply gaze at you each other in the mirror. By the action, you may rethink about yourself .
