People came expecting an art piece about symmetry, about nature’s twinship. Instead, each viewer found their own reflection refracted through the melons’ strange surfaces. Mine showed a version of me that smiled more easily, but held an old scar across the jaw I had never had. Across from me, a teenage boy peered and saw himself with a different name pinned to his jacket. A woman sobbed when she saw herself aged three decades and at peace.
