Mirror

About a year afterwards, the king married another wife who was very beautiful, but so proud and haughty that she could not bear anyone to be better looking than herself.

She owned a wonderful mirror, and when she stepped before it and said, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?" It replied, "The queen is the fairest of them all." Then she was pleased, for she knew the mirror spoke truly.

Little Snow White, however, grew up and became prettier and prettier.

And when she was seven years old, she was as fair as the noonday, and more beautiful than the queen herself.

When the queen asked her mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?" It replied, "The queen was the fairest yesterday.

Snow White is the fairest now," they say.

This answer so angered the queen that she became quite yellow with envy.

You're connected to a special time of year when people think about the past and the future.

You can make one long blast, a few broken sounds, or a bunch of very quick sounds.

You are not played for entertainment, your sound is meant to make people stop, listen, And think.

Now, do you know what you are? Are you ready for the reveal? Look in the mirror.

You are...

you A skull, a candle, a mirror, a key, an open door.

What if none of them are there by accident? For centuries, artists have used ordinary objects to communicate ideas that couldn't always be expressed in words.

A skull could represent mortality, a candle could represent life or its disappearance, a mirror could suggest vanity, truth, self-knowledge, or illusion, and sometimes the smallest object in a painting can tell us more than the person standing in the center.

I'm Jen, artist, gardener, lifelong lover of stories, and your guide into a world where art, folklore, mystery, and history intertwine.

But there's an important catch.

A symbol doesn't always have one fixed meaning.

A mirror might suggest vanity in one painting, but self-knowledge in another.

He shared rankings of U.S. presidents, listing himself at the top as the greatest above Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, both Roosevelt's, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

He posted an AI-generated image that shows the back of what appears to be Obama facing a mirror, and then Donald Trump reflected back, and the caption reads, Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the greatest president of them all? Another image showed Trump arm-wrestling Hulk Hogan.

I'm going to stop there.

Who's not alive.
