M & P were seated on chairs in a dark gallery, facing the projection wall with their backs to the audience. The performance commenced as the video projection began. The video tape, accompanied by loud sound, showcased the works of installation REFLECTIVE REALITY. M and P sat in a relaxed manner, each holding a glass of red wine, and watched their own images on the projection wall. At times, they exchanged glances, sporting pleasant smiles. When laughter erupted from the tape, they stood up, turned around, and directed their gaze toward the audience. The conclusion of the video projection was cast onto their bodies.

The performance symbolically depicted the reflection of the present reality (their physical presence in the gallery) and the external reality conveyed through the video tape. M and P were mirrored in both realms, in both temporal dimensions, by their mere presence. The act of sipping wine, sharing smiles, and relaxing their bodies, evident in both contexts, signified the successful culmination of the project titled Reflective Diary..
