It seems like looking in a mirror.
But it's not a mirror.
It can be said to be identical.
No flipping, no turning, not upside down. Compared to the mirror image, it is closer to a replica that is the same in every way.
It can be said to be identical, with no glass in between. However, compared to the side of the mirror, that face feels strangely distant.
No matter how he reaches out, he can't grasp that strand of green hair, watching it fly and sway gracefully, teasing and tempting but never touching. Clearly, it is his own face, but there is no connection whatsoever.
Clearly, it is the same eyebrows and eyes, but he can't make his hair as elegant and flowing; a tough posture only exposes his stiffness and self-restraint, far from the arrogance of the other side's raised corner of the mouth.
He doesn't even recognize himself.
His mirror is square and regular, unable to capture that expression.
It's not a mirror.
Perhaps he is the one being admired.
Having a tongue but a lump in his throat: "Brother."
This time, it was triggered by the two sets of pictures posted on Yu Xi's studio Weibo on April 21 and April 24, 2021. (Reference Picture 1, Reference Picture 2)
Perhaps this child has a strong sense of drama, and I feel that he is also suitable for the role of a model, as the images he presents always have energy and even a strong sense of storytelling.
I often look at his photos and words seem to appear in my mind.
The impact of viewing these two sets of pictures together is strong. The faces should be the same but completely different. The contrast is not only between these two sets of pictures, but also within each set. I can feel the contradictory temperament - the seemingly gentle long hair with a hint of aggressive wildness, and the appearance of a tough guy in a shirt and pants with a gentle and refined demeanor.
It's very interesting.
