The film Mirror begins from the premise that certain landscapes have the capacity to provide therapeutic benefits. The idea stems from established theories of art, culture and psychology. The film explores the idea that the face of nature, made visible in the representation of landscape, can be treated as that of a quasi-person with whom the viewer interacts. For many people, the imagination facilitates interpretation of natural phenomena as recognizable self-states. This experience is enhanced by the representation of nature in the film. Mirror advances the idea that improved understanding of the self and capacity to empathize with others, to have another's mind in mind, can advance shared interests between people and the possibility of more widespread understanding.
