Quantum Mirrors: Seeing Identity Through Fragmented Reflections
Symmetry in Silence is the first book in the Echoes of Spiraling Consciousness series by Dalia Dubois. Memory is portrayed here not as a line but a spiral, going back through time with new meanings. The book explores silence, hidden secrets, and mediated effects of trauma and memory on the construction of identity.
The series will continue for five more volumes, each
further delving into memory, identity, and transformation:
Book Two: Dimensions
of Truths
Book Three: Memory
Resurrection
Book Four: Mirror
of Memory & Fragmented Identities
Book Five: The
Palindrome Project Reconstruction – Fractured Lines
Book Six: Quantum
Reflections – A Novel of Consciousness, Justice and Transcendence
Identity in Motion
A defining theme in her work is the instability of
identity. We wear layers shaped by memory, altered by experience, and revised
by growth. This mirrors real life. None of us exists as a single, unchanging
self. Dubois expands this truth with speculative imagination, showing identity
as something fluid, shifting with time and experience rather than staying
fixed.
Mirror and the Psyche
Memory is not presented as a seamless reflection but
as a broken surface, layered, overlapping, and incomplete. These fragments do
not diminish truth; instead, they reveal it in greater depth. In Mirror of
Memory & Fragmented Identities, the mirror becomes a central metaphor.
Here, the mirror is not a tool of clarity but of
honesty. It shows that identity is multiple, layered, and constantly shifting.
To understand ourselves, we must accept these broken images as part of a larger
whole.
Fragmentation as Transformation
Characters revisit memories that appear in spirals
rather than straight lines, encountering them with a new perspective each time.
In Dubois’ storytelling, breaking is the beginning of becoming. What once felt
unbearable becomes an opening toward transformation.
Spirals of Memory
From this point of view, healing and self-discovery
are not linear processes, but spiral trips. It reappears in cycles and offers
every return a chance of a new interpretation.
By embedding this rhythm into her story, she captures
the complexity of the transformation.
Toward Quantum Reflections
The series culminates in quantum reflections, where
Dubois expands its vision in questions of consciousness, justice, and
transcendence. Building on the metaphor of the quantum option, she suggests
that identity, such as matter, can also exist in several conditions.
This vision calls for the idea of a single, uniform
self. Identity becomes a constellation of stories, in which every fragment
carries weight and contributes to the overall reflection. Fragmentation is not
a mistake, but a marker for the breadth of human experience.
A Redefinition of Science Fiction
Science fiction here is not about predicting
technology or charting the stars but about examining the mysteries of thought
and memory. The unknown is not in distant galaxies but in the depths of the
psyche. Dubois redefines the genre through this lens.
By using speculative tools to explore consciousness
and trauma, Dubois shows that the human spirit is as strange and uncharted as
any galaxy. This shift opens a new horizon for the genre: one in which
speculation becomes deeply introspective.
Reflections of the Human Condition
In the heart, echoes of the spiral consciousness
suggest that broken identity is not a weakness, but a truth of existence. Dubois's
spiral memories and broken mirrors remind us that the transformation often
begins in the places where we feel most unusual.
Her work makes a daring claim: the most convincing
limit is not the outer space, but the inner universe of memory, identity, and
awareness.
