For Renaissance artists, in the 15th and 16th centuries, the mirror was a new, technical tool, not only as an aid for self-portraits but for all aspects of painting, its uses and (symbolic) implications were specific and of great importance. In the 21st century, for us, at Mimi Berlin, the mirror represents ourselves, vanity, luxury, fidelity and the truth (as we see it and as we like to hide it)
