Bouhchichi attempts to relay messages surrounding the complexities of Black individuals through fragmented depiction of the human body and mind, creating a kaleidoscopic effect in the works. The series includes a nod to the artist's tendencies to include both symbolic and literal references to his personal background that include both himself and his loved ones, using a range of powerful motifs.

The Silent Mirror demonstrates Bouchichi’s range and artistic focus on the space, gesture and abstraction. The use of the repetition of the physiological features in the paintings reflects the artist's message about the multi-faceted realities that Black individuals hold and by doing this, the artist assigns the viewer responsibility of defining the fragments that are depicted within the subjects.
