I'm Alexx. Maximalist, mirror lover, work in progress.

I've always loved mirrors — which is a little ironic, because for most of my life every time I looked into one I was picking myself apart. Searching for ways to look better, different, more.

I'm a maxximalist in every sense of the word. Cool makeup, a million accessories, patchwork tattoos because I love decorating my human sim like they're stickers. I find beauty in the eclectic, all things shiny, mixed metals, the things that make you stop and look twice. I want everything around me to look and feel really cool — and I want you to feel that way too.

Recently, through deep journaling, I've learned to accept myself in my truest form. Imperfect. And that changed everything — including the way I make art.

I found these mirrors at thrift stores. Secondhand, a little worn, carrying the marks of a life already lived. And instead of seeing flaws, I started seeing stories. Instead of seeing imperfection, I started seeing character.

So I etch into them. I pour meaning into them. I turn them into something that asks you to look a little deeper — at the mirror, and maybe at yourself too.

Some of the frames have small scuffs. A scratch here, a worn edge there. I used to agonize over that. Now I see it as part of the piece. Imperfect is the new perfect.

These mirrors are one of one — just like you. Not in spite of their imperfections. Because of them.

Consider this your daily reminder — objects in the mirror are hotter than they appear. 🖤
