The Other Side
Sri Djoko 1975 (Indonesia)
I catch myself in the mirror
It looks familiar yet unknown
It feels like I have seen it somewhere
But I've forgotten where
I witness myself changing and transforming
From one into another
It moves so quick that I speed
While I am washing, It approaches me again
It looks like it needs to deliver something
I could not hear it but whisper in my thoughts
I was unconscious, standing and staring at the mirror
It was horrified
I could not move away from it
I was helpless
