The moment I started taking these, I thought of a kaleidoscope. Most of my thinking is associative in that one thing makes me think of another and another and so on. I attribute both my awesome memory and anxiety to this form of thinking. Maybe the pattern of the rug got me on the kaleidoscope train of thought or maybe kaleidoscopes are what I associate with sexual expression.
In a way, the association with sexual expression makes sense; our sexual proclivities are reflections or distortions of reflections of ourselves that, when expressed to others, can be warped by that person's own identity. When presented to an audience, sexuality becomes an endless reflection upon reflection upon reflection of the same base idea.
When I was trying to determine how I was going to reflect each image, it was interesting to me how the emotion of the same image seem to change depending on which way I faced them. Even now with that decision made, I feel like the viewer's eye naturally prioritizes one reflection in each image. I think the one your eye chooses, says more about you than it does the image.
