The Mirror of Judgment [solo exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition) is both disorienting and divine. The disorienting aspect comes from the fact that it is one big maze made out of swirling cardboard pieces. The divine aspect is due to the [religious sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-on-space) placed strategically within the depths of this [unique labyrinth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection).

Created by Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, the Mirror of Judgment exhibit guides visitors through the big four religions, which include Buddhism (represented by a Buddha statue), Judaism (represented by tablet-shaped mirrors), Christianity (represented by a kneeling bench) and Islam (represented by a prayer mat).

Overall the artist describes the Mirror of Judgment exhibit as "a winding and unforeseeable road that leads us to the place of revelation, of knowledge."
