distorting mirrors
Warping carnival glass
Distorting mirrors are mirrors with curved or irregular surfaces that reflect warped, exaggerated images—stretching bodies tall, squashing them wide, or creating wavy distortions.
They're fixtures at carnivals and funhouses: The kids laughed at themselves in the distorting mirrors.
Figuratively, anything that presents a skewed version of reality: Social media can be a distorting mirror.
