Untitled (Mirrored Cubes) 1971

These mirrored cubes were made by Robert Morris, and they're kind of messing with my head. What you see depends on where you stand, right? I’m trying to imagine being Morris, maybe in his studio, thinking about space, perception, and how objects interact with the world around them. I wonder what came first – the concept or the object. It’s like he’s saying, hey, let's turn the whole room into the art, not just this one precious thing. You look, and you see yourself and everything else, broken up and reflected back. The hard geometry bounces light around and the room seems to come alive. Morris’s work makes me think about Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, all those minimalists who wanted to strip art down to its bare bones. But Morris had a playful side, and the mirrored surfaces push the work beyond the merely conceptual. It’s a reminder that art is always in dialogue, always responding and challenging what came before.
