Meet Tigerlilly Tigerlily doesn’t see her reflection in the glass. One could assume she lacks consciousness but in fact, she lacks “self-consciousness”. Humans, able to see their own reflection, can only see it in the first place because of an act of division from self...an alienation…that gives rise to two: the mirror and the one appearing in it. It gives one a false sense of wholeness or identity (I am that), but it is a deception. We are in fact a much greater mystery.
