José Lévy seeks out unfamiliar cultures and expressions, and through intense research brings disparate influences together into singular objects.
The Malili mirror combines Indian, Japanese and African symbology, resulting in a striking artwork that speaks to Lévy’s work in the fashion industry.
His work is motivated by a certain nostalgia for the past, and the artist aims to both preserve and show commonality between cultures and past artistic heritage.
