WHISPER

The Mirror's Whisper is the voice behind the creation.
This is what The War Within has to say:

There is a war inside you.
You already know this.

Not the kind that shouts—
the kind that waits.
That bleeds quietly.
That you carry everywhere, even when you smile.

The mind always speaks first
“Stay here.”
“Be smart.”
“Stay where applause is guaranteed.”

It makes sense.

And God, how much you’ve tried to make sense.

You’ve folded yourself into logic
so many times
you forgot what your shape used to be.

But sense is not the same as peace.
And you know that too.

Then comes the beat
It doesn’t speak.

It shakes.
It burns.
It aches.

It doesn’t tell you what to do—
it asks if you remember.

“Is this really it?”
“Is this the life you promised yourself?”

You hear it.

But it doesn’t come with proof.
Only a pulse.
A rawness.
A pull.

But fear is fluent
“You don’t have enough money.”
“They’ll leave.”
“You’ll fail.”

It’s convincing, isn’t it?

How it sounds like your voice.
How it uses your mother’s tone.
Your father’s silence.
Your culture’s shame.

So what now?
Do you choose the voice that kept you safe—
or the one that never stopped shaking?

Do you honor the traditions
that built your prison—
or the feeling
you’ve buried beneath decades of being “reasonable”?

There’s no right answer here.
Only one that leaves you dead while breathing,
and one that burns everything you thought you were.

You already know which one you’re avoiding.

And maybe—
it’s time to ask yourself why.

Choose now.
Because if you don’t—
you will wake in ten years
and not recognize your own reflection.

You will hear a voice laugh in your chest,
and it will not be joy.
It will be grief.
Grief for all the songs you never sang.
Grief for all the oceans you never swam.
Grief for the self you exiled
in the name of being acceptable.

But if you leap—
you will not land where you think.

You will land where you’ve always belonged:
in the center of your own becoming.

Raw. Unplanned. Infinite.

Not a product of perfection,
but a testimony of truth.

So go.
Not because it’s easy—
but because your soul is already halfway there,
screaming at the edge of your ribcage:

“I didn’t come here to watch.
I came here to burn.”

i love you,
bv

TESTIMONIALS

“I couldn’t stop staring. The line about grief laughing in your chest cut straight through me. I knew that voice; I lived with it for years. This made me face what I had buried. I tattooed The War Within on my arm as a vow to remember.” - Mery “I didn’t cry. I froze. That is what I have done my whole life—float in the middle, never choosing, never letting go. This image didn’t whisper; it called me out. My indecision was the harshest choice I ever made.” - Bruce “When I saw the boy underwater holding the brain and the heart, my whole body shouted. That was me, always trying to keep both happy, trying not to drown. This isn’t a picture; it’s a mirror and a warning. It is the moment before you finally choose.” - Daniel “I stared and felt fifteen again, the first time I ignored what I truly wanted just to look smart. I’m thirty-eight now and still holding both ropes. This piece tore something open. It didn’t give answers; it reminded me I am the one who has been waiting.” - Lucy

BLOOMING

A mirror for remembering, not decorating. Hung in a home, it turns walls into quiet thresholds. With every glance, a choice returns: the grip of logic, or the whisper of feeling.

Museum-Grade Brilliance: Precision-cut archival mat and hand-finished hardwood frame embrace a pane of Opticrylic® — a crystal-clear, UV-shielded medium that holds depth, detail, and color with an almost impossible permanence. Each glance meets the same truth decades from now as it does today.

The War Within speaks in tides and breath; between what you know and what you feel, between control and surrender. It remembers the moments you chose certainty over aliveness, thought over instinct. Yet in its stillness it offers something rare: permission to return. To trust the pull you already hear. To remember the way forward was never written—only felt.

A message from Benjamin Viulet

You did not buy an artwork.
You answered a calling.

There is a quiet war inside all of us,
between the safety of what we know
and the pull of what we feel.
This mirror was made to live at that border.

When you stand before it, it will not ask for your face.
It will ask for your honesty.
It will remind you that the ropes were never held
by the world, or your past…
but by you.

Some days the mind will be loud.
Some days the heart will be brave.
Keep choosing. The choosing is the art.

Thank you for letting my creation live with you.
May this piece become a faithful witness
to your courage, to your becoming,
to the moment you stopped asking for permission
and started returning to yourself.

I see you, I know you, I love you,

Benjamin Viulet

WHY IT’S CALLED A “MIRROR”

This work is meant to reflect you, not your face. The War Within is a daily encounter between mind and heart. It does not decorate a wall; it returns you to a choice.

THE MIRROR’S WHISPER

The Whisper is the written text by Benjamin Viulet that carries the philosophical meaning of the artwork. Your Certified Manuscript includes the Whisper and the artist’s signature.

THE MIRROR’S RITUAL

Every Mirror ships with a short activation ritual. For The War Within you receive two ritual cards:
• The Choice of Heart
• The Choice of Mind
They guide a brief ceremony before hanging.
