Coined by philosopher and theorist Michel Foucault, heterotopia refers to spaces of otherness. That are neither here or there, both physical and mental, much like the moment you see yourself in the mirror. What you see in a mirror does not exist, however the object of a mirror does exist in solid reality and offers us a perception of truth. It's a parallel space that only seems to exist inbetween, an uneasy balance of mind and matter.
