Sophie Calle is a conceptual artist and photographer from France whose work explores themes of identity, memory, and emotional vulnerability. Her 2007 series Take Care of Yourself was inspired by a breakup email she received from a lover. Rather than respond herself, Calle invited 107 women from different professions—such as a lawyer, dancer, actress, and psychologist—to interpret the letter through their own lenses. The resulting photographs and texts form a powerful emotional archive, capturing how a single experience can be reflected in countless ways.

This series relates closely to the theme of reflections, both in the literal sense of seeing oneself through others and in the metaphorical sense of processing emotion over time. Each woman’s interpretation acts as a mirror, showing not only Calle’s emotional state but also how personal pain can be refracted through professional and cultural identities. The project also holds deeper cultural context: rooted in French intellectual and feminist traditions, it challenges the idea of private grief by turning it into a shared, performative, and analytical act.
