Spreading Happiness with the SF Mirrors Project
The SF Mirrors Project aims to spread confidence and happiness to the people of San Francisco.
Happiness is contagious. If you've ever had a bad day, and let's face it we all have, then you know that simply being around uplifting and optimistic people can turn a frown upside down. One small random act of kindness or a few words of encouragement, even if from a complete stranger, can change the way we feel about ourselves, how we treat others and how we approach life each day. The San Francisco Mirrors Project aims to put an extra spring in everyone's step by doing just that, spreading a little happiness.
If kickstarted, creator Akin Bilgic will form a public art installation by hanging 3 x 1.5 foot mirrors on walls and buildings throughout the city, each with a single sentence message of inspiration, hope, encouragement or positivity on them. "Track down your favorite teacher and thank them for getting you where you are today" and "Looking good. Ask him/her out for coffee today" are just a couple of the feel-good phrases that will be inscribed on the mirrors. Bilgic's goal is to get passersby to take a moment to look in the mirrors, take the messages to heart and walk away feeling confident and happier, ultimately spreading that happiness to the people they interact with.
Although the Mirrors Project will only take place in San Francisco, with a pay-it-forward attitude the installations could easily be spread worldwide.
