The Icon with a Mirror: A Divine Reflection Within

The Icon with a Mirror – Who Are You in the Eyes of God?

In a world of traditional icons depicting saints and saviors, one piece stands apart—a handmade icon with a mirror where the holy face should be. This isn’t a void. It’s an invitation. When you gaze into it, you’re met with your own reflection and a question that reverberates through time and soul: Who are you in the eyes of God?

This icon draws inspiration from the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who argued that true faith begins with the individual standing alone before God. Churches, liturgies, and rituals may shape our outer lives, but unless we confront our inner being, we may never meet the Divine.

This icon is not meant to comfort—it challenges. It strips away the familiar image of Christ and replaces it with a paradox. You are not just the observer of the sacred—you become part of it. You take His place, not in pride, but in vulnerability.

Kierkegaard wrote about “the individual before God” – a soul isolated in truth, trembling before the eternal. When you look into this mirror-icon, you are not seeing Christ’s perfection, but your own imperfections. And that is where faith truly begins—not in self-assurance, but in humility and grace.

This icon is for the seeker. For the one who dares to ask hard questions. For the believer who doesn’t want answers, but transformation. It’s not just art. It’s a spiritual experience.

Are you ready to face yourself through the eyes of eternity?
