    For me the video represents a person who is trying to reach the point of absolute perfection and along the way, trying to achieve that perfection cost the ballerina her life. If you pay close attention, she is going to practice late at night and I think her reflection was a representation of what she thought about herself, her insecurities and fears and deep down, what she really wanted to do as well. Perfection and healthiness don't tend to come hand in hand quite often, most likely in regard to the mental state.

    The ballerina’s evil mirror self is really a portrayal of how she sees her imperfections.
    As she’s trying to show herself in the mirror how she is supposed to dance correctly, her mirror self is annoyed that she can’t do it right. However we can clearly see that the ballerina is doing the dance correctly compared to how she sees herself in the mirror, signifying how she cannot imagine herself to do things the right way.
    The injuries that she suffered from her mirror self could have also been the result of over training due to her fear of failing the performance.

    I love this! The reflection is how she sees herself, but that image can never live up to the image of perfection she wants to be. So, the reflection begins to break her, mentally and physically, using her own body against her. Notice how the initial breaks and the zoomed out images don't match. It's like the mental is just as bad as the physical toll. When she let the perfect image go, or die lol, the way she saw herself (the reflection) was able dance freely with no cares.

      @GxldenHour Fascinating legend. Never heard of it. But if it's true that they say, the eyes are the mirror of the soul, what are they in front of a mirror?
      Edit: the legend you told is based upon a neurological reflex. If you look at your reflection for too long and stay still (especially in dimmed light) your image will start appearing deformed and you'll get very uncomfortable because your brain gets "bored" and does not know how to process a fixed, expressionless but very alive image.

    i was a ballerina for 10 years. somehow, i connected with the main character here...on the psychological horror aspect, it felt as if she was forever haunted by the fact that ballet is all she has. the strict rules, the discipline and the striving to become exactly how a ballerina should be, looking like everyone else, synchronizing your movements to everyone else's...i understand why traning alone at night in an empty studio made her lose her mind and brought up those fears of deviating from the norm.

    The premise seems so silly at first, not sure I would have even watched it if I had known. Like something out of Looney Tunes. But I give a lot of credit to the way this short was presented and the performance of the actress. I'm glad that it held my interest because it ended up being a worthwhile watch and even provides some psychological fodder about what is represented here.

    yeah this one got a pretty real representation. the dance world (specially ballet) is very demanding, always trying to reach perfection no matter what. dancers struggle a lot with self-image, self confidence, insecurity, and other personal problems. also, ballet is pretty harming, i know a few people that got a broken bone because they were trying so hard to the point of exhausting their own bodies. loved it!
