Mik Gaspay's installation titled Eve was what caught my eye in the Proximities exhibit. What made it stand out was that it was the only multimedia installation, and I appreciated the use of the televisions. When looking at it I noticed a reflection on the pot in the middle, and bent down to see that it was actually reflecting the image of the televisions. Looking at the installation from a couple of feet away I imagined it a sort of home, a television playing with a beautiful woman on screen, and a pot cooking what I guess would be some food. However from different angles I began to see flaws within the artwork. The reflection the pot made the woman seem like some sort of grotesque creature. The pot itself was making creepy noises, and I even realized that the TV had been flickering. The piece was not the calm scene I had first envisioned, but instead held within itself multiple dialogues. It was is if I had been looking into a mirror only to find something completely different staring back at me. The art itself contained multiple universes, perfect and balanced on one end of the spectrum but twisted on the other.
