Everyday Reflections

Everyday Reflections is a collection of images that encourages viewers to slow down and notice the beauty in the ordinary. Focusing on familiar household objects and daily environments, the series explores how repetition and routine can hold moments of unexpected charm. In a world that often feels rushed, overwhelming, or monotonous, Charlie’s work offers a pause to appreciate the simplicity of everyday life.

Mirrors are placed throughout the exhibition to gently draw the viewer into the work. By seeing their own reflection alongside the photographs, viewers are invited to become part of the scene; blurring the line between audience and subject.
